What moves the price
- Type of charger — a smart charger or one with a tethered cable costs more than a standard untethered unit.
- Distance from the board — a long cable run from the fuse board to the driveway adds cable, digging or clipping time.
- Any necessary electrical upgrades — if the board has no room for a dedicated circuit, a board upgrade is added to the charger installation.
- Mounting position — a charger on a wall next to the board is quicker to fit than one on a post across the driveway.

How to pay less
- Fitting the charger on the wall nearest your fuse board keeps the cable run short and the installation cheaper.
- A standard untethered charger costs less than a smart or tethered model and can still charge your EV overnight.
- Combining the charger installation with any fuse board work you already need saves paying for two separate visits.
- Clearing the garage or the driveway wall before the installer arrives saves paid time on the day.
- Asking several installers to price the same charger and cable run lets you compare EV charger quotes like with like.
