What to check before booking an EV charger installer

Domestic EV charger installation is notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations, so use an installer registered with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA. Installers should follow BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations) and the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation. If you plan to claim the EV chargepoint grant for flat owners and renters, or a workplace charging scheme grant, the installer must be authorised by the OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) for that scheme. Check that the quote covers a load assessment, earthing arrangements and any consumer unit work rather than the charger unit alone.

Choosing the right charger and setup for your home

Most homes in Milton Keynes are on a single-phase supply, which supports a 7kW charger; a 22kW unit needs a three-phase supply, which not every property has. Smart chargers that meet the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021 let you schedule charging for off-peak tariffs and are required for new installations. Ask about the cable run from your fuse board to the parking space, whether tethered or untethered suits you better, and how the installer handles earthing on older or rural properties. A DNO (Distribution Network Operator) notification may be needed, which a registered installer will arrange on your behalf.

Do I need planning permission to install an EV charger at home?

In most cases no. Home chargepoints usually fall under permitted development in England, provided the unit is not more than 0.2 cubic metres and does not face onto a road. Listed buildings and some conservation areas can have extra conditions, so check with Milton Keynes City Council if your property is affected.

How long does a typical home EV charger installation take?

A standard 7kW installation is often completed within a few hours on the day, once any survey and DNO notification are done. Longer cable runs, consumer unit upgrades or groundworks can extend this, so a good installer will confirm the scope after a site survey or photos.
