How Much Does Workplace EV Charger Installation Cost?
Workplace EV charger installation typically costs between £1,000 and £2,500 per charger, depending on the complexity and capacity. Factors influencing the cost include the type of charger, electrical infrastructure, and installation location.
Wall-mounted units are often less expensive than pedestal options, and installations requiring extensive electrical work may incur additional costs.
Additional elements such as trenching, electrical panel upgrades, or compliance with Building Regulations Part S can further affect expenses. The choice of charger, such as a Type 2 unit offering fast charging speeds or a tethered vs. untethered model, can also impact the cost.
Moreover, the presence of load management systems to handle multiple units and maintain grid stability might be necessary in larger installations. We assess your specific needs to provide an accurate quote, ensuring an optimal solution that fits your budget.

Our team works closely with you to recommend the best option based on your operational demands and future growth plans.
Do I Need Planning Permission for Workplace EV Charger Installation?
In most cases, workplace EV charger installation does not require planning permission, particularly for freestanding units. This is because chargers up to 1.6 metres in height usually fall under permitted development rights.
However, certain locations may have specific requirements or restrictions, such as listed buildings or conservation areas, where chargers must adhere to stricter guidelines to preserve architectural integrity. Additionally, if multiple chargers are being installed, the cumulative impact might necessitate a more in-depth review by local planning departments.
For car parks and commercial properties, the number of bays designated for charging and the infrastructure's impact on traffic flow might also influence permission needs. We can guide you through any necessary permissions and ensure compliance with local regulations, liaising with local authorities on your behalf to streamline the process.
Always check with your local authority to confirm whether special conditions apply to your property.
How Long Does Workplace EV Charger Installation Take?
The installation of workplace EV chargers generally takes one to two days per unit, depending on site conditions and electrical requirements. Our team conducts a thorough site survey prior to installation to identify any potential challenges.
This involves assessing existing electrical infrastructure, planning for load balancing, and ensuring compliance with local regulations such as the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). We typically use specialised equipment such as cable trenchers and power drills for secure installations, and can install different charger types like AC Level 2 or DC fast chargers, suitable for various client needs.
This helps ensure a smooth and efficient process on the day of installation, minimising disruption to your business operations. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and schedule a site survey.
How Long Does a Workplace EV Charger Last?
Workplace EV chargers have a typical lifespan of 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance practices. Regular servicing and prompt repairs of any faults will help extend the life of the charger.
Environmental factors, such as exposure to extreme weather, might also influence longevity. Chargers installed indoors or in protected outdoor enclosures tend to last longer than those exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
Our team ensures that each charger complies with relevant safety and performance standards, such as the ISO 15118 for plug-and-charge functionality and OCPP for open communication protocols. We can schedule annual inspections to assess the condition of the charging units and perform necessary upgrades or replacements as emerging technologies become available.
We provide maintenance recommendations to help you keep your charging equipment in top condition.
