JD Electricals installs 7.4kW chargers at Basingstoke houses, checking the supply and parking position first. ## How much does an EV charger cost in Basingstoke? EV charger installation starts at £750 for a 7.4kW home charge point, fitted on its own circuit, tested and left working. - EV charger installation (7.4kW home charge point): from £750 - What moves the price is the distance from the board to your parking space, whether the board has a spare way, the earthing arrangement, and tethered against untethered. - The £750 for a Basingstoke charge point is a starting price, and JD Electricals puts the figure for your house in writing before the work begins. ## How a home EV charger is installed A 7.4kW home charge point from £750 gives your car its own protected circuit from the fuse board, so you charge from the house rather than an extension lead or a socket in the garage. ### A 7.4kW charge point This is the standard home unit and it charges a car overnight on an ordinary single phase house supply. ### Its own circuit The charger takes a new circuit and its own protection at the fuse board, never a spur off an existing socket. ### Where the unit sits It goes within cable reach of where you park, on the house wall, the garage or an outbuilding. ### Tethered or untethered A tethered unit keeps its own cable attached, and an untethered one takes the cable that came with the car. ### What the earthing needs Outdoor charge points need the right earthing arrangement, which is checked at the meter and the board before anything is fitted. ## EV charging in Basingstoke homes Basingstoke covers RG21 to RG24, and the age of the estate changes where the board sits, how far the cable travels and where the unit can go. ### Popley, Winklebury and South Ham These 1960s and early 1970s overspill estates can still carry an original board, and if it has no spare way a fuse box replacement from £650 comes first. ### Brighton Hill and Kempshott Private estate housing from the 1970s and 1980s sets garages and drives back from the house, so the cable run to the parking space is longer. ### Hatch Warren and Beggarwood Family housing from the late 1990s into the 2000s tends to keep the meter in an external cupboard with the board close behind it. ### Chineham and Lychpit These planned northern suburbs from the 1980s onwards include parking courts, and a charger must run from your own supply to your own space. ### Old Basing and the Top of Town Older cottages and listed buildings in conservation areas limit where the unit can sit and how its cable crosses the elevation. ## What happens on the day Fitting a charge point starts at the fuse board and finishes at the car. ### The board and the parking space JD Electricals checks the board for a spare way, the earthing arrangement at the meter and the cable run out to where you park. ### Fitting the charger The unit is mounted, the cable is clipped along the wall or through the garage, and the power goes off while the new circuit is connected. ### Testing and the certificate The circuit is tested, the car is plugged in to prove the charge, the unit is set up, and you get the electrical installation certificate for it. ## Why customers choose JD Electricals JD Electricals is a domestic electrical company working for homeowners and landlords across Basingstoke and the Hampshire towns around it, with the price in writing and the circuit tested before it is handed over. From the first question about a charge point through to the certificate, you are told plainly what is happening. ## Recent electrical work Boards, lighting, testing and charge point work from across the towns JD Electricals covers. ## EV charger questions from Basingstoke customers The questions asked before a charge point is booked. ### How much does it cost to fit an EV charger in Basingstoke? From £750 for a 7.4kW home charge point on its own circuit. The distance from the fuse board to your parking space is the biggest thing that moves that figure. You get the price for your house in writing before any work starts. ### Do I need a new fuse board for a charge point? Only if the existing board has no spare way or the wrong protection for a new outdoor circuit. On the older estate housing in Popley, Winklebury and South Ham this comes up more than on Hatch Warren. A fuse box replacement is from £650 and is done alongside the charger. ### Will my electricity be off while it is fitted? Yes, for the part of the day when the new circuit is connected at the board. The rest of the work, mounting the unit and clipping the cable, happens with the power on. You are told before it goes off. ### Can I have a charger if I park in a shared parking court? Only where the cable can reach your space from your own supply, which is the question on the Chineham and Lychpit courts. A charger cannot cross another household's supply or be run to a space that is not yours. The parking arrangement is checked before a price is given. ### Can a charge point go on a listed cottage in Old Basing? The unit and the cable have to sit where the conservation area and listed building limits allow, which is what governs the position on the older Top of Town and Old Basing houses. That normally means the least visible elevation, close to the meter. Where the unit can go is looked at with you before booking. ### Should I get a tethered or untethered charger? A tethered unit has the cable permanently attached and is quicker to plug in. An untethered one has a socket, so you use the cable from the car and it suits a drive shared with a second vehicle. Both are 7.4kW and both start at £750. ### Can you fit a charger on a detached garage or outbuilding? Yes, where the parking is away from the house the charger is fitted on the garage or outbuilding. The circuit still comes from the house fuse board, and the extra cable run is priced in the written figure. This is the common arrangement on the 1970s and 1980s Brighton Hill and Kempshott estates. ### What paperwork do I get for the charger? The electrical installation certificate for the new charge point circuit. It records the testing on the circuit and the work at the fuse board. Keep it with the house paperwork, as a buyer or an insurer can ask for it. ## Where we fit charge points near Basingstoke EV charge point installs run right across the RG21 to RG24 postcodes, with regular work in South Ham and out at Old Basing. ## Other electrical services in Basingstoke Fuse board replacement from £650 sits closest to charge point work, and landlords letting a Basingstoke house also need EICR testing from £150. - [Electrician in Basingstoke](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/electrician-basingstoke): Electrician in Basingstoke for fuse board replacement, EICR testing, fault finding and EV charger installation across RG21 to RG24 homes. - [EV charger installation (all areas)](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/ev-charger-installation): JD Electricals fits 7.4kW home EV chargers in Basingstoke and nearby Hampshire towns.
