EV Charger Installers Edinburgh
As more Edinburgh drivers switch to electric vehicles, having a reliable, fast home charger is becoming as essential as the car itself. Boxergy installs home EV chargers across Edinburgh and the Lothians, from New Town flats with private parking to family homes in Morningside and Corstorphine.
Considering EV Charger Installation in Edinburgh?
Charging at home is almost always cheaper and more convenient than relying on public charge points, especially with overnight electricity tariffs. Our EV charger installers handle everything from the initial site survey through to certification, so you can start charging at home with minimum fuss.
Benefits of a Home EV Charger in Edinburgh
- Faster charging: a dedicated home charger typically charges several times faster than a standard three-pin socket.
- Lower running costs: charging overnight on an EV tariff is usually far cheaper than public rapid chargers.
- Convenience: wake up to a full charge without detouring to a public chargepoint.
- Smart charging: many chargers can be scheduled to charge during off-peak hours automatically.
Edinburgh’s Housing Stock — What You Need to Know
Edinburgh’s mix of tenement flats, Georgian townhouses and modern developments means EV charger installation isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you have a driveway or private parking space, installation is usually straightforward. If you live in a tenement flat or rely on on-street parking — common across much of central and New Town Edinburgh — options can include kerbside or on-street charging schemes, workplace charging, or a charger fitted to a private parking space if you have access to one. We’ll assess what’s realistic for your property during a free survey rather than assuming a driveway is available.
The Installation Process
- Site Survey: we check your electrical supply, consumer unit, and the best cable route to your parking space.
- Charger Selection: we recommend a charger suited to your vehicle and how you plan to use it.
- Installation: most installations are completed within half a day to a full day, including any electrical upgrade work.
- Certification: your installation is tested and certified to current wiring regulations.
Grants & Funding for EV Chargers in Edinburgh
The OZEV EV chargepoint grant is now mainly available to people in rental accommodation or living in flats, rather than most owner-occupied houses (the previous homeowner grant scheme closed in 2022). If you rent your home or live in a flat, it’s worth checking your eligibility — Boxergy can confirm this before you commit to anything.
