Why You Need A Dedicated EV Charging Point For Your Home

Charging your electric vehicle using a standard household plug may seem convenient, but it comes with significant risks. An electric car draws a large amount of current, and when using a regular plug, this heavy load can cause the plug to overheat. If your EV is charging on a circuit that’s also powering other appliances, you’re at risk of overloading the circuit, which could damage your home’s electrical system and any connected devices. To avoid this, it’s essential to have an isolated circuit dedicated solely to your electric car charger.

Another key consideration is the condition of your home’s wiring. If your wiring is outdated, not properly protected, or not designed to handle high electrical loads, you’re exposing yourself to the risk of a serious fire hazard. Your safety is our priority, and ensuring your charging setup is both safe and efficient is the best way to protect your home and investment.

At Blu Electrics, we provide professional installation services, setting up a dedicated EV charging point that’s tailored to your home’s electrical system. We ensure everything is done safely, securely, and in full compliance with industry standards, giving you peace of mind every time you plug in.

EV Charger FAQs

How much Does An EV Charger Cost To Install?

Installing an EV charger at home typically costs between £800 and £1,500, with some factors influencing the exact price. This includes the cost of the charger itself and the installation, which involves wiring and connection to your home’s electrical system.

While any electrician can install an EV charger, it’s crucial to ensure they possess the necessary qualifications and experience, including knowledge of BS7671 wiring regulations and specific EV charger installation standards.
Wallbox chargers can offer 7kW charging, which can charge a standard EV from 0-80% in around six hours. In terms of cost, this will typically cost 14p per kW, resulting in a total cost of between £5-£14 to charge an EV.
EVs can typically be charged using a standard 120-volt outlet. Many EV owners opt for a 240-volt service because it’s a faster charging option.

Yes, installing an EV charger at home is generally worth it, offering cost savings, convenience, and potential resale value benefits. Home charging is typically cheaper than public charging, and a home charger allows for overnight charging, maximising the use of potentially cheaper off-peak electricity.

In general, you don’t typically need planning permission to install an EV charger on your property if you own it and have off-street parking. However, there are exceptions: if your property is a listed building or located in a conservation area, or if you are renting, you may need permission. Additionally, you’ll need to get permission from your landlord or property manager if you are renting or own a flat.
While technically possible, charging an EV from a standard 3-pin plug is generally not recommended as a long-term solution due to safety and practical concerns. It’s safe for short-term or emergencies, but using a dedicated home EV charger is safer and faster.
Yes, you can charge an EV from a standard 13 amp UK socket, also known as a domestic or 3-pin plug. Most EV manufacturers supply a “granny charger” or portable domestic charger that allows you to charge using a 13 amp socket. However, charging this way is very slow, typically taking around 10-12 hours to fully charge a 30kWh battery.
Yes, you can potentially receive a government grant to help with the cost of installing an EV charger at home if you own or rent a flat or have off-street parking. The Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (also known as the EV Chargepoint Grant) can provide either £350 or 75% of the installation cost, whichever is lower.
