With the UK government banning new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030, electric vehicle ownership is surging. For homeowners, this presents a golden opportunity: installing an EV charger can increase your property value by £3,000 to £5,000 while future-proofing your investment.
Why Home EV Charging Adds Value
Research from the National Association of Property Buyers confirms that properties with EV charging infrastructure command premium prices. As over 1 million EVs now drive on British roads, buyers actively seek homes with charging capability—eliminating the hassle and expense of installation themselves.
Key benefits include:
- Faster sales compared to homes without charging
- Attracts premium buyers who prioritize convenience
- Competitive advantage in crowded property markets
- Future-proof appeal as EV adoption accelerates
Estate agents report that EV-ready homes consistently outperform competitors, particularly among professional buyers and families making the switch to electric vehicles.
Financial and Environmental Benefits
Beyond property value, home EV charging delivers substantial savings. Charging at home costs as little as 7p per kWh on off-peak tariffs, compared to 70p per kWh at public rapid chargers—saving hundreds of pounds annually.
Environmental benefits matter too. Home charging, especially with green energy tariffs or solar panels, significantly reduces your carbon footprint and supports the UK’s net-zero targets.
Professional Installation Matters
Installing an EV charger typically costs £800-£1,500, depending on your property’s electrical setup. Professional installation ensures compliance with BS 7671 wiring regulations, safety certification, and compatibility with all EV models.
Quick Installation FAQs
Do I need planning permission? Most residential installations don’t require planning permission, though listed buildings and conservation areas may need approval.
How long does installation take? Most installations complete within 3-5 hours with minimal disruption.
Which chargers work with my vehicle? Type 2 socket chargers are compatible with virtually all UK EVs, including Tesla, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, and Volkswagen ID models.
