How Much Does Workplace EV Charger Installation Cost?

Workplace EV charger installation costs around £500 to £1,200 per unit. Several factors influence this price range, including the type of charger, the complexity of the installation, and whether any electrical upgrades are required.

For instance, installing a basic single port charger is less expensive than a multi-port, high-speed charging station that might include fast chargers compliant with the Combined Charging System (CCS) or CHAdeMO standards.

Additional expenses may arise if trenching or new electrical panels are needed to accommodate higher power demands. The location's existing electrical infrastructure, such as grid capacity and connection distance, plays a crucial role in the final cost.

Typically, a site survey and an electrical load analysis are performed to assess the property's preparedness for the installation. These help ensure compliance with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) standards.

What Types of Workplace EV Chargers Are Available?

We offer a selection of workplace EV chargers to suit different business needs, adhering to industry standards like the IEC 62196 for connector types and safety.

Single Port Chargers: Ideal for smaller businesses with limited EV requirements, these usually provide up to 7 kW of AC power and are perfect for overnight charging.
Dual Port Chargers: Provide flexibility to charge more than one vehicle simultaneously, supporting power sharing between ports for efficient use. They often support types like Type 2 connectors common in European EVs.
Fast Chargers: Suitable for businesses where quick turnaround is essential, delivering 22 kW to potentially 50 kW, significantly reducing charging time compared to standard AC units.
Smart Chargers: Integrated with software for managing energy use and reporting, they enable features like load balancing and can be monitored remotely via mobile apps for convenience.

Choosing the right type of charger depends on the size of your fleet, charging needs, and any grid constraints. We're here to help you select the best option.

How Long Does Workplace EV Charger Installation Take?

Most workplace EV charger installations take one to three days. The exact time frame depends on the complexity of the setup and any required electrical modifications.

For example, if additional cabling or trenching is needed to connect the charger to the power supply, the installation might extend slightly. We also consider the type and number of chargers being installed, such as single-phase or three-phase units, which impacts the duration.

Compliance with local electrical standards and obtaining necessary permits, when applicable, are integrated into our timeline planning. We ensure that our installation process minimises disruption to your business operations, and we coordinate with you for the most convenient timing.

Our team is equipped with tools such as thermal imagers to assess existing electrical systems and avoid potential overloads, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation process.

How Long Does A Workplace EV Charger Last?

A workplace EV charger typically lasts between 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. These chargers are often installed with durable materials such as weather-resistant enclosures and corrosion-resistant cables to withstand environmental factors.

Regular checks and servicing, including thermal imaging and software updates, help extend the life of the charger as they can identify potential issues before they become problematic. Environmental factors such as exposure to harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, can also impact longevity.

It is advisable to comply with industry standards like the IEC 61851 for conductive charging systems to ensure optimal performance. We offer maintenance packages, which include detailed inspections and functional testing, to keep your chargers in top condition and ensure safety for all electric vehicle users.
