Questions

Questions we get asked

How much does a home EV charger cost to install?

Typically €899 to €1,595 for the charger and a standard fit, most often about €1,249, or €599 to €1,295 after the €300 SEAI grant. An older fuse board or a long cable run adds to it.

How long does installation take?

2 to 4 hours on the day for a standard job, in one visit. From first quote to charging usually takes 2 to 6 weeks, mostly waiting for the SEAI Letter of Offer.

Is there much mess?

Very little: a small hole through the wall for the cable, a surface-mounted cable run and the charger on the wall. Trenching to a garage is the messy exception.

What guarantee do I get?

Ask for it in writing before you sign: the maker's warranty on the charger, what the installer stands over on the fitting, and the Safe Electric certificate when it's done.

Do I qualify for the €300 SEAI grant?

If the home has a private off-street parking space, the charger is on SEAI's Smart Charger Register and a Safe Electric registered electrician fits it. Apply first: no work before your Letter of Offer.

Will my fuse board need an upgrade?

Only if it has no spare way or no RCD protection, which older homes often don't. Expect €200 to €650. SEAI doesn't fund wiring upgrades.

Tethered or untethered?

Tethered has the cable fixed on and usually costs about €100 more. Untethered is a socket, and you use the cable that came with your car.

Will it pay for itself?

Charging at home on a night rate costs far less per kWh than public fast charging, so a charger you use most nights earns its keep on the running cost of the car.

Who comes out to fit it?

A Safe Electric registered electrical contractor who covers your area. You get their name and registration number before anyone visits.

Are you SEAI?

No. We price the job, explain the SEAI grant forms and introduce you to one registered installer.
