Everything you need to know about installing an EV charger at your new build home
More new build buyers than ever are driving electric — and a home charger is one of the smartest investments you can make. Charging at home costs roughly 7-10p per mile compared to 15-20p for petrol. Over a year, that's thousands saved.
The great news for new build owners: your home is already wired to support an EV charger. Modern consumer units have capacity for the extra circuit, and the cable run from your fuse box to the garage or driveway is usually short and straightforward. That means installation is quicker and cheaper than in older homes. But this is not a DIY job — all EV charger installations must be carried out by an OZEV registered installer.
