What does standard installation include for home chargers?

Here’s what a standard installation with expert Octopus installers includes. If installing your electric vehicle charger is more complicated than our standard installation, it may cost extra to get you set up. Of course, we'll give you a quote for any extra work before we go ahead.

  • Fitting the charger
    • We'll fit the charger into a brick or plaster wall. Unfortunately, we can't mount to things like fences, and fitting a pole will cost extra.
  • Routing the cable
    • Our standard install includes up to 10 metres of cable, run and clipped to the wall or along a window/door frame, between your consumer unit and charger.
  • Electrical connections
    • We'll connect the charger to the origin of the supply, and fit any necessary electrical components.
  • Testing & demonstration
    • We'll do all necessary electrical testing and give you NICEIC certification, as well as show you how the charger and app work.
