Everything You Need to Know About Installing An EV Charger For Your Home Or Business.

With the UK banning the sale of all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, an ever-increasing number of people are turning to electric vehicles as a clean, renewable-compatible alternative.

Whether you’re a homeowner looking to install an EV charger on your driveway, or a business looking to electrify your fleet, getting the right infrastructure in place is essential.

At CP Jefferies, we install EV chargers for both domestic and commercial customers across the UK. We're OZEV-registered, NICEIC-approved, and fully trained in standard and complex installations.

EV Charger Installation for Homeowners

As long as you have off-street parking like a driveway or garage you can install an EV charging point outside of your home. A secure location is essential for safe installation and convenient access. If you're renting or live in a flat, you may need your landlord’s permission, but you might still qualify for government grants.

Most UK homeowners choose a 7kW fast charger with a Type 2 connector. It's ideal for overnight charging.

We can advise you during our home visit and help you choose between:

• Slow chargers (3kW): cheaper, but can take up to 12 hours to charge
• Fast chargers (7kW-22kW): the most popular choice
• Rapid chargers (50kW+): rarely installed at home due to higher power requirements

How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?

Typical costs for a domestic charger in the UK range from £800 to £1,700, depending on the model and installation complexity.

Our process includes:

• Free site visit
• Full quotation with no hidden charges
• Installation, certification, and DNO notification
• Building regulations compliance

Are there any grants available?

If you’re a homeowner, renter, or landlord, you could be eligible for the government Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, offering you up to £350 off your installation.

Why Should Your Business Install EV Chargers?

More employees are switching to EVs. Offering EV charging at work is a practical perk that sets your company apart.
Electric fleets are cheaper to run and companies can benefit from tax incentives too.
Installing EV chargers shows your commitment to sustainability, which matters to customers, clients, and investors.

Whether you’re a homeowner charging overnight, or a business managing a full EV fleet, CP Jefferies is your expert EV charging partner.

While electric vehicle (EV) ranges have improved dramatically in recent years, many non-EV drivers still see range as a concern but it no longer needs to be. Today’s EVs often offer ranges comparable to petrol or diesel cars, and with smart driving habits, you can optimise that range even further.

Tips for maximising your range while driving an EV.

Accelerate Gently: Smooth and gradual acceleration helps reduce energy consumption.
Limit Climate Control Use: Turn off or lower the air conditioning, heating, or heated seats when possible to reduce energy drain.
Plan Efficient Routes: Choose routes that are more direct and allow for lower, consistent speeds to maximise range.
Maintain Tyre Pressure: Keep your tyres properly inflated to minimise rolling resistance and improve efficiency.
Preserve Battery Health: A healthy battery retains more energy, helping you travel farther on a single charge.
