Charging at home
Start with the property and how you park.
Home charging needs more than a space on the wall. The supply, vehicle, parking position and cable route all influence the installation. Discussing these details helps identify a practical arrangement before equipment is chosen.
EV charger installation is part of our domestic electrical services. Tell us about your home and the vehicle you drive or plan to use, including any constraints around parking and access.
Assessment and positioning
A route and supply suited to the work.
- Your electrical supply
- The assessment considers the existing supply, other household demand, earthing arrangements and suitable protection. Any required electrical or network work needs to be established before proceeding.
- Where you park
- Discuss the parking space, vehicle charging-port position and a practical location for the charger. The cable needs to reach the vehicle without obstructing access.
- The cable route
- The route from the electrical installation to the charging point affects the work. Distance, access, surfaces and any groundworks should be considered when planning the installation.
Equipment and controls
Match the charger to the vehicle and your routine.
Confirm the vehicle’s connection and charging capability alongside the proposed equipment. Discuss the cable arrangement, controls and any connectivity needed for the features you want to use.
Smart charging can offer scheduling and settings suited to when you charge. Check the applicable requirements for the proposed equipment in the government's smart chargepoint guidance. Actual charging behaviour and cost depend on the vehicle, equipment, settings and electricity tariff.
Electrical safety and connection requirements
Installation needs to account for suitable circuit protection, inspection and testing, and applicable Building Regulations. Agree the documentation and notification arrangements as part of the proposed work.
The distribution network operator may need to authorise the connection before work or receive a notification afterwards, depending on the assessment. The government's energy-device registration guidance explains the network process.
What to expect
Assessment, installation and handover.
Share your requirements
Tell us your postcode, vehicle details, parking arrangement and where you would like the charger positioned. Mention any existing electrical concerns.
Assess the property
We review the supply, installation and proposed location, and discuss the equipment, cable route and any network connection requirements.
Agree the scope
Discuss the proposed charger and work, including any additional electrical changes, notification arrangements and the quote before installation is arranged.
Install, test and hand over
The agreed charging equipment is installed and the relevant inspection and safety testing carried out. We explain operation and controls, with documentation appropriate to the work.
Scope and cost
What affects the installation quote?
- Equipment and compatibility
- The charging point, connection arrangement and control features influence the proposed installation. The vehicle’s charging capabilities also need to be considered.
- Cable route and access
- Distance from the electrical installation, mounting location, access and any groundworks can change the amount of work.
- Existing installation and network needs
- Additional electrical work or electricity network requirements may affect the scope. The assessment should identify what is needed rather than assume a standard installation fits every home.
Existing electrics and local coverage
If the condition of your existing installation needs review, our EICR page explains electrical condition inspections. Where an upgrade is found necessary, see our consumer unit replacement service. Neither is an automatic requirement for every charging point.

Home charging questions
Can I have an EV charger installed at my home?
That depends on the parking arrangement, access, electrical supply and proposed equipment. Share your property and vehicle details so we can assess a suitable installation.
Will I need a new consumer unit?
Not automatically. The existing installation and proposed charging circuit need assessment. Any upgrade should be based on the findings and the protection required, not simply the decision to install a charger.
Will a charger work with my vehicle?
Compatibility depends on the vehicle, its connection and charging capability, and the equipment selected. Confirm the vehicle make and model before choosing a charger; a higher equipment rating does not mean every vehicle will charge at that rate.
What does smart charging do?
Depending on the equipment, smart features can let you schedule charging and manage settings. Discuss connectivity, controls and how the proposed charger works with your vehicle and electricity tariff.
Does the electricity network operator need to be involved?
EV installations need the appropriate network connection and notification arrangements. Assessment establishes whether prior approval is required or a connection can be notified afterwards. Discuss the applicable route before work begins.
What affects home EV charger installation cost?
The equipment, cable route, access, existing electrical installation and any additional network or electrical work affect the cost. We can discuss a quote once the proposed scope is understood.
Where do you install domestic charging points?
GU Services covers residential customers in Woking and within a five-mile radius. Include your postcode and parking details when enquiring so we can confirm coverage and discuss the installation.
