A 7kW home EV charger is the single best upgrade most EV owners can make. Overnight charging on a smart tariff like Octopus Intelligent Go (around 5.5p/kWh off-peak at time of writing) costs roughly £8-£10 for a full charge on a 60kWh battery — compared to £25-£40 at a public rapid. Pays back the install in 12-24 months for most users.
What's included in a standard install:
Typical Cornwall costs (2026):
The OZEV Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant is currently £500 per socket (raised from £350 on 1 April 2026), covering 75% of supply + install cost up to the cap.

We match you with a vetted local OZEV-approved installer who handles the grant claim on your behalf if you're eligible.

Everything you need to know about home EV charger installation in Cornwall.
Standard 7kW install: £800-£1,200 before any grant. With the OZEV £500 grant (for eligible renters/flat-owners): £300-£700 net. Long cable runs add £8-£15/m beyond the first 10-15m. Consumer unit or supply upgrades, where needed, add £200-£800.
The current OZEV chargepoint grant (£500/socket as of 1 April 2026) is restricted to renters and flat-owners with private off-street or allocated parking. Standard owner-occupier homeowners are no longer eligible — the universal Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme ended in April 2022. Landlords can apply under a separate scheme for up to 200 sockets across their portfolio.
If you're on (or moving to) Octopus Intelligent Go, pick a compatible charger: Zappi, Ohme, Hypervolt, Easee, Indra, or Pod Point Solo 3S. If you have solar PV, Zappi and Hypervolt do solar diversion (charge from excess solar before importing). For HMOs or shared driveways, Easee or Project EV chargers support multi-user RFID access. Your installer will recommend based on your supply, parking layout and tariff.
Most installs are completed in a single day, 3-5 hours on site. Lead time from quote to install is typically 1-2 weeks for cash jobs, 2-3 weeks where the OZEV grant is involved (paperwork and DNO notification). DNO G99 notification for higher-capacity installs can add 3-4 weeks.
Most UK homes with a 100A main fuse can handle a 7kW charger alongside normal household demand, especially with a CT clamp for load balancing (auto-throttles the charger if total demand approaches the fuse rating). Older homes with 60A or 80A fuses may need a free supply upgrade from the DNO — adds 2-4 weeks. Three-phase supply (uncommon in Cornish domestic) supports 22kW.
Usually no — EV chargers are permitted development for most properties under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order. Exceptions: listed buildings, conservation areas, and properties facing a highway where the charger projects more than 0.2m. Your installer will flag any concerns at survey.
EV charger installations must comply with BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 Section 722 (the IET Wiring Regulations) and the IET Code of Practice for EV Charging Equipment Installation. Key requirements: dedicated circuit, Type A RCD with DC fault current detection (or Type B RCD), proper earthing strategy for the supply type, and notification to the DNO before energising.
Legally — no. EV charger installs are notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations and require certification by a competent registered electrician. They also require DNO notification before energising. Self-installs are unsafe (high fault currents, earth-loop considerations on TN-C-S supplies) and will invalidate home insurance plus most charger warranties.
