Home EV Charger Installation
Single-socket 7kW domestic install with OZEV £500 grant administered where eligible. BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 Section 722 compliant.
From £800 (£300 net of OZEV)EV charging at your holiday let is now a booking-conversion essential. Tethered 7kW units, multi-property load balancing, IP54+ coastal-rated hardware. We match you with vetted local OZEV-approved installers.
Cornwall holiday-let owners face a clear choice in 2026: install EV charging or lose bookings to the property next door that has. Booking platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, Sykes, Premier Cottages) now filter by 'EV charging available', and a growing share of Cornwall's tourist traffic arrives by EV — a 200-300 mile drive that needs overnight replenishment to avoid public-network costs (often £25-£40 per charge at rapid sites).
What works best for holiday lets:
Costs and ROI:
We connect Cornwall holiday-let owners with vetted local OZEV-approved installers who understand the salt-air and seasonal-occupancy considerations. For high-end Rock/Polzeath/Padstow properties, ask about charger colour options — graphite-grey or matte black usually blends better than bright white. For coastal corrosion zones, confirm the manufacturer's warranty position on coastal installs before specifying.
Holiday-let owners often run a let management company too — we cross-link with our sister site Let Management Cornwall for owners looking for end-to-end let management plus EV-charger amenity upgrades.

Everything you need to know about holiday let EV charger installation in Cornwall.
Most Cornwall holiday-let owners offer charging free as an amenity — it converts bookings and the overnight cost on Octopus Intelligent Go (around 5.5p/kWh off-peak at time of writing) is £4-£6 for a typical guest full-charge. If you do want to bill, OCPP-enabled chargers (Easee, Project EV, some Wallbox models) pair with back-office platforms that handle RFID/app billing, but the friction usually loses more bookings than the billed kWh recovers.
Generally no — the current OZEV chargepoint grant is restricted to renters and flat-owners with private parking; commercial holiday lets don't qualify. However, the install is a fully deductible business expense against let income (under FHL rules where the property qualifies, or under standard property-business rules otherwise). Consult your accountant on capital allowances vs revenue treatment.
Tethered is strongly preferred for holiday lets — most guests don't travel with their own Type 2 cable, and a socket-only unit just causes confusion and one-star reviews. The downside (cable can be stolen) is rare in practice; the upside (plug-and-charge for any guest) is decisive.
Critical to get right. Specify IP54-rated minimum (most quality chargers achieve this), stainless steel A2 or A4 fixings, marine-grade cable glands, and check the manufacturer's warranty position on coastal installs (some void warranty within 5km of sea unless specific install conditions are met). Zappi, Ohme ePod, Hypervolt Home 3 and Wallbox Pulsar Plus all have good coastal track records in our installer network.
Yes — either a single tethered unit on a shared standing area, or multiple chargers sharing one MPAN via dynamic load balancing. The latter is better for guest experience (no waiting) but more expensive (£2,500-£5,500 for 2-4 unit install). The installer's load study will confirm what your supply can carry without an uplift.
Yes, measurably — booking platforms increasingly let users filter by 'EV charging available', and a growing share of Cornwall's tourist traffic arrives by EV. Anecdotally most Cornwall holiday-let owners we connect with installers report payback within 1-2 booking seasons through higher conversion and a £20-£40/night premium. The effect is strongest in coastal locations where alternative public charging is sparse (Lizard, far-west Penwith, deep north coast).
Single-unit install: 3-5 hours, single day. Multi-unit shared install: 1-2 days. Most installers will work around changeover days (Friday/Saturday in summer) to minimise booking impact. Lead time from quote to install is 1-2 weeks off-season, 2-3 weeks at peak.
