How Much Does EV Charger Replacement Cost?

EV charger replacement typically costs between £300 and £800. The price depends on factors such as the type of charger you choose, any additional wiring needed, and the complexity of the replacement.

For instance, installing a 7kW charger might be less involved than a 22kW three-phase charger, which could require upgrading your property's electrical panel to ensure it meets the latest safety standards, such as BS 7671 wiring regulations.

Additional factors include the distance from the power source to the charging point and the necessity for trenching or conduit installation if the charger is far from the power supply. If your property is older, it might also be necessary to assess the condition of existing wiring and connections, potentially influencing the cost.

How Long Does EV Charger Replacement Take?

Replacing an EV charger typically takes two to three hours, encompassing several detailed steps. Initially, we disconnect and safely remove the existing unit, followed by a inspection of the existing wiring to ensure compatibility with the new charger.

We often use devices compliant with the latest industry standards such as BS 7671, to guarantee electrical safety.

Following this, we install the new charger, which could be a Type 2 socket for more universal compatibility, and secure it in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Our process includes checking the property's electrical load capacity to ensure it supports the new system.
