Helping London households find an EV charger installer
EV Chargers London brings a practical starting point to a job that can raise quite a few questions. Where should the charger go? Can the house supply it? Who gives permission for a cable through a shared car park? You can explain the situation in one online enquiry and hear from suitable independent installers who cover your part of London.
What our service does
We help match homeowners, tenants and leaseholders with businesses that can assess their installation and provide their own price. You may receive up to four quotations, depending on your postcode, the proposed work and the availability of installers. There is no charge to submit an enquiry and no requirement to go ahead.
EV Chargers London is a consumer matching service. We do not carry out installations or employ the electricians who quote. Companies joining the network are asked to provide relevant insurance details and references. You choose the installer and contract with that business directly.
Those joining checks are a starting point for the network, rather than a promise about a particular installation. Before appointing anyone, check their relevant electrical competence, insurance, recent EV installation experience and written terms. Ask who will deal with a faulty charger after installation, and distinguish the product warranty from the installer's workmanship cover.
London homes need different approaches
Our coverage is London, including its 32 boroughs and the City. We can take enquiries for a driveway in Chingford, a garage in Orpington, an allocated bay in Woolwich or a rented house in Wembley. A contractor still needs to confirm that they can take on your particular job.
In older terraces, the route from the meter can be more important than the distance from the charger to the car. In blocks of flats, consent, fire-stopping and access to electrical cupboards need arranging. On a busy street, parking for the installer and delivery access can affect how a visit is organised. Tell us about these details early so the people quoting can plan around them.
From a simple wall unit to a shared parking bay
The site covers home installations, 7kW charging, smart controls, tethered units and socketed chargers. We also cover enquiries from flat owners and renters. An installer may need to add cable containment, assess load management, arrange network notification, set up a tariff connection or prepare drawings for a managing agent alongside fitting the charger itself.
A grant-funded installation can have additional eligibility and installer requirements. Check GOV.UK chargepoint grant eligibility before assuming a discount. Grant approval is separate from permission to alter a rented or leasehold property, and neither replaces the electrical checks.
You stay in charge of the decision
Installers may ask for photos, clarify your car's charging capability or suggest a site survey. Only photograph equipment that you can see safely without removing covers or opening locked communal cupboards. Compare the proposed cable route, installed output, total cost and completion documents before choosing a business.
Your quote should explain who handles Building Regulations notification and any network application. For the domestic electrical requirements, see Approved Document P. If something in a quote is unclear, ask for it in writing before paying a deposit.
