EV Charger Installation in London
Your charger, fitted by a vetted local electrician. Get a fixed price in about two minutes in the app, with same-week slots including evenings and weekends.
An EV charger install goes smoothly when your electrician knows the charger model, where your fuse board is, and where the car parks. JACK collects that in the app and confirms a fixed price before you book — no site-visit quotes, no hardware bundles you did not ask for.

How EV charger installation pricing works
You get a fixed price for your EV charger installation in the Jack All Trades app before you book — no site-visit quotes, no waiting weeks, no hardware bundle you did not choose.
Tell JACK your charger model and add photos of your fuse board and the spot where the car parks. You will have a fixed price in about two minutes. The main factors are the cable run from the fuse board to the charger, the wall type, and whether your fuse board needs a new protective device — and the price depends on the electrician or team who takes the job.
You supply the charger, so you keep the freedom to buy the model you want at the best price you can find. Unlike energy-supplier packages, there is no bundled hardware markup and no multi-week lead time — same-week slots are often available.

Grants, smart charger rules, and planning permission
Most London driveways need no planning permission for a wallbox, all new home chargers must be smart, and renters and flat owners can get a government grant towards the cost.
- The EV chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, up to £500, for renters and flat owners with private parking — check current eligibility on gov.uk. A separate grant exists for households with on-street parking.
- Grant claims must go through an OZEV-authorised installer — if you plan to claim, mention it in the app when you describe the job so it is handled from the start.
- All new home chargers sold in the UK must be smart chargers, so you can schedule charging on cheap overnight tariffs.
- A wallbox on a driveway usually needs no planning permission, within size limits — listed buildings are the main exception.
- A charging cable should never trail across the pavement between your home and the car.
Frequently asked questions
How much does EV charger installation cost in London?
Describe the job in the app and JACK confirms a fixed price before you book. The main factors are the cable run from your fuse board to the parking spot, the wall type, and whether your fuse board needs work — you supply the charger, so you are not paying for a hardware bundle.
How long does the installation take?
Most home EV charger installations take 2-4 hours. Longer cable runs or fuse board upgrades can add time, and your electrician confirms this when you book.
Do I need off-street parking?
A driveway or garage is the usual setup, and a charging cable should never trail across the pavement. If you park on-street, ask JACK in the app — options vary by borough, and a government grant for households with on-street parking exists.
Can you install a charger I bought myself?
Yes. Whether it came with the car, from the manufacturer, or online, your electrician fits it — all major brands are covered.
Will my fuse board need upgrading?
Sometimes. A charger needs its own dedicated circuit, and older fuse boards may need a new protective device or an upgrade. Share a photo of your fuse board in the app and your electrician checks before the visit. Required testing, certification, and DNO notification are taken care of.
Where do you cover?
All London boroughs, seven days a week, with same-week and evening slots often available.
Can I get a government grant or free home charger installation?
Installation is never completely free, but if you rent or own a flat with private parking, the EV chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost up to £500, and there is a separate grant for households with on-street parking — check current eligibility on gov.uk. Homeowners with driveways are generally not eligible. Grant claims must go through an OZEV-authorised installer, so mention it in the app if you plan to claim.
Can I charge my electric car from a 3-pin plug?
As an occasional backup, yes — most EVs come with a granny cable that plugs into a normal socket at about 2.3kW, but a full charge can take over 24 hours and extension leads should never be used. A dedicated 7kW wallbox charges around three times faster and is designed for daily use, which is why a proper installation pays for itself quickly.
How can I charge my electric car at home without a driveway?
You still have options. Some London boroughs allow cross-pavement cable channels so you can charge from home while parked on-street, and the government offers a grant for households with on-street parking. Flats with allocated parking can usually have a charger installed at the space. Describe your setup in the app and JACK will route the request to an electrician who can advise.
Do I need planning permission for a home EV charger?
Usually not. A wallbox on a driveway wall is normally permitted development within size limits. Listed buildings and some conservation areas are the exception — your electrician can flag this before any work starts.
Should I choose a tethered or untethered charger?
Tethered chargers have a fixed cable, which is more convenient day to day. Untethered ones take any cable, look tidier, and adapt if you change cars. Your electrician can advise either way — and every new home charger is a smart charger, so overnight tariff scheduling works with both.
