How the estimate is built
The calculator starts from September 2026 budgeting bands used across this site: about £800 to £1,400 including VAT for a straightforward UK 7kW driveway install, and about £900 to £1,800 in many London situations. Extra charge points, three-phase hardware, long cable runs and board upgrades add further allowance.
Checked extras add typical low and high allowances for cable length, pedestals, load management, access, electrics and consent work. They are planning ranges, not a bill of quantities.
What this does not cover
- Major civils, ducting across third-party land or full car-park rebuilds
- Public highway schemes where the council owns the charger
- A guaranteed price from any installer
- Grant deductions. Budget gross first, then subtract only a confirmed grant
Use the result to prepare questions, then compare written scopes for the same parking bay and cable route.
