How Much Does Apartment Block EV Charger Installation Cost?

Apartment block EV charger installation typically costs between £500 and £1,500 per unit. The exact price depends on factors such as the number of chargers, the building's existing electrical infrastructure, and specific customer requirements.

For instance, a site assessment is crucial to determine if existing electrical capacity can support the new chargers, or if transformer upgrades are necessary. Additional costs can include wiring upgrades, load management systems, and ongoing maintenance.

We use components like Type 2 sockets and tethered cables, adhering to standards such as the IET Wiring Regulations to ensure safety and compatibility. Installation timescales generally range from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.

We'll provide a tailored quote that meets the needs of your property and budget, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.

What Types of EV Chargers Are Available for Apartment Blocks?

We offer a variety of EV chargers suitable for apartment blocks, including:

Level 2 Chargers: Suitable for overnight charging, providing 10 to 20 miles of range per hour. These chargers typically use a 240-volt connection and are compatible with most residential electrical systems, making them a convenient choice for overnight use in communal parking areas.
Fast Chargers: Ideal for quick top-ups, offering 25 to 100 miles of range per hour. Fast chargers require a higher power supply, such as a 400-volt three-phase connection, enabling rapid charging in busy car parks where turnaround time is important.
Smart Chargers: Allow monitoring and management via apps, balancing load and usage. These chargers support features like scheduled charging, energy consumption tracking, and integration with renewable energy sources, which can assist in managing peak electricity demand.

We can also propose solutions that comply with relevant safety and installation standards, such as the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation. Our team can help you choose the best solution for your residents.

How Long Does Apartment Block EV Charger Installation Take?

Installing EV chargers in an apartment block usually takes between two to four weeks. This timeline encompasses several stages, starting with an initial site assessment to evaluate electrical capacity and identify optimal charger locations.

Following this, we handle acquiring necessary permissions from local authorities and building management, which can take up to a week. The installation process itself depends on the existing electrical infrastructure and may require upgrading transformers or switchboards to accommodate the increased load.

We install chargers like the Zappi or Tesla Wall Connector, ensuring compatibility with various vehicle types. The duration can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the number of chargers being installed.

We aim to minimise disruption to residents with scheduling and notifications. Upon completion, we conduct thorough testing and provide user training.
