What is considered before an EV charger is quoted
A free quotation visit allows the proposed charger location and the property's electrical installation to be considered before work is priced.
The discussion can cover where the vehicle will normally be parked, where the charger could be positioned and the practical route for the necessary cabling.
The charger installation, associated electrical work and materials will then be detailed in writing so you can review what is included before deciding whether to proceed.

EV charger questions
What to consider before installation
Can an EV charger be installed at any property?
Suitability depends on factors including where the vehicle is parked, the proposed charger position, the cable route and the property's electrical installation. These can be considered during a quotation visit.
Will my electrical supply need to be upgraded?
Not necessarily. The existing supply and electrical installation need to be considered in relation to the proposed charger. Any additional electrical work identified can be explained and included in the quotation.
What charging power can be installed?
There is no single charging power suitable for every installation. The charger, vehicle, intended use and available electrical supply all need to be considered before an appropriate installation is proposed.
Do you install EV chargers at workplaces?
Yes. Only Electrical installs workplace charging for staff and fleet vehicles. The number and location of charging points, expected use and available electrical capacity are considered before the work is quoted.
Can Only Electrical help with an OZEV grant?
Only Electrical can administer eligible workplace and landlord EV chargepoint grant applications. Where applicable, a grant may provide up to £500 towards the charger cost, subject to the scheme rules and confirmed eligibility.
What will the written quotation include?
The written quotation will detail the proposed EV charger installation, related electrical work and materials before work begins.
