The charging point price is one of the first questions that comes up as soon as you start driving electric. An honest answer is: the price depends on your situation. Two homes with the same charging point can have a different final price, simply because the connection, the distance to the board or the necessary adjustments differ.

Instead of quoting a fixed amount that turns out to be wrong afterwards, we explain which factors determine the price of a charging point. That way you know what to look out for and why a quote after a site visit is the most reliable basis.

The charging power and the device

The chosen charging capacity and the type of charging station determine part of the price. A simple charging station costs less than a device with control, metering or connectivity. What you need depends on your car, your consumption and whether you want to be able to charge with solar panels or dynamic charging.

More expensive is not always better: sometimes a simple device is enough, sometimes a smarter charging station pays for itself in comfort and control. We weigh that up together based on your usage.

Connection, board and cable

A large part of the price is in the work, not in the device. The distance between your distribution board and the charging point determines the cable length and the cross-section. If the cable runs through a wall, across a driveway or to a detached garage, that also plays a role.

The condition of your board also counts. If there is still room and margin for an extra circuit, the work remains limited. If an upgrade or an adjustment to the board is needed, that adds cost. During the site visit we map this out.

Grants and savings

Whether premiums or support schemes apply, and how much you ultimately save through smart charging, depends on your home, your consumption and the energy prices at that time. We make no fixed promises about that.

What we do: we look at your situation and give a realistic picture of what a charging point costs and yields for you, so that you make a well-founded choice.

What also determines the price

Charging power

Higher power and three-phase charging sometimes call for heavier cabling and protection.

Type of EV charger

A basic charging point or a device with control, metering and connectivity.

Cable length

The distance from the distribution board to the charging point and the cable route.

Connection and board

Available headroom, a possible upgrade or adjustment of the fuse board.

Control

If you want dynamic charging or charging from solar panels, that adds metering and wiring.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does an EV charger cost?
There is no fixed price, because the cost depends on the device, the charging power, the distance to your board and any adjustments to the connection. A quote after an on-site visit gives you a correct amount.
Why can the price differ per home?
Because the connection, the cable length and the condition of the distribution board differ from home to home. The same EV charger involves more work in a home where an upgrade or a long cable run is needed.
Are there grants for an EV charger?
Whether grants or support measures apply depends on the regulations at that time and on your situation. We make no fixed promises about this and assess it case by case.
Can a smarter EV charger save money?
An EV charger that steers based on solar panels or stays within your available power can deliver savings and comfort. How much exactly depends on your home, consumption and energy prices, so we assess that conditionally.
