Installing in Durham: what to know

City terraces and the peninsula

Tight streets and older stock need thoughtful cable routing, which the photo survey settles before we quote. For on-street parking, Durham County Council has a cross-pavement team to contact before anything is fitted.

Rental and student properties

Durham is a big rental city, and landlords can claim £500 per socket at residential lets. We handle the grant paperwork with the quote.

Villages and estates

Framwellgate Moor, Gilesgate, Belmont and Brandon are classic 3–4 hour installs at standard fitted prices.

Our process

How installation works

Photo survey & fixed quote

Send a few photos of your fuse board and parking spot through the quote form. You get a fixed, fully-fitted price. Most installs need no home visit first.

Installation day

Most home installs take 3–4 hours. We route the cabling neatly, fit and commission the charger, and leave everything tested and tidy.

Handover & certification

We set up the app, pair your energy tariff and hand over your certificates. We notify the DNO and claim any grant on your behalf.

What goes into an EV charger installation in Durham

The questions that decide which charger you can have and what the install involves.

7kW suits most homes

Most Durham homes have a single-phase supply, which tops out at 7kW. That adds around 25–30 miles of range an hour, so an empty battery is full by morning on a cheap overnight tariff.

11kW and 22kW need three-phase

Three-phase supplies are rare in houses and common at farms and business premises. On three-phase we can fit an 11kW or 22kW charger, but many cars only accept 11kW on AC, so we check your car before recommending one.

Northern Powergrid and certification

Northern Powergrid runs the electricity network across County Durham, and we notify them of every charger we fit. If your main fuse is small or your supply is shared with a neighbour, we get their approval before install day. You get an Electrical Installation Certificate, and the job is registered with building control through NICEIC.

Solar panels and smart tariffs

If you have solar panels, a charger like the myenergi Zappi can charge from spare generation. Every charger we fit can be scheduled around cheap overnight tariffs, and we set up the app with you before we leave.

EV charger grants in Durham

Renters, flat owners, on-street households, landlords, businesses and schools in Durham can all get money off. We check which scheme applies when we quote and deduct it, so there's nothing to claim back.

Homeowners with their own driveway aren't eligible for the home grant. Rates checked September 2026; the schemes are funded until 31 March 2027.

No driveway where you are?

The council offers cross-pavement charging for residents who park on the street, and asks you to contact its cross-pavement team first. Check with the council first, and we fit the charger once a channel is approved.

What your council allows

EV charger installation in Durham: your questions

Do you cover Durham?

Yes. Durham is about 35 minutes from our Northallerton base, comfortably inside our patch, and we cover the surrounding areas too: Framwellgate Moor, Gilesgate, Belmont, Brandon, Chester-le-Street and the rest of the DH1–DH7 postcodes.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Durham?

The same fixed prices as everywhere we work: £916–£1,142 fully fitted depending on the charger, including cabling up to 5 metres, certification and DNO notification. There is no distance charge for Durham and nothing added on the day.

I rent out property in Durham. Can I claim a grant for chargers?

Yes. The landlord chargepoint grant gives £500 per socket at residential rental properties, and a charger is an increasingly persuasive feature for lets. We confirm eligibility, claim the grant and deduct it from your quote.

Can I get a grant for an EV charger in Durham?

Yes, if you rent, own a flat or park on the street: the EV chargepoint grant takes up to £500 off. Landlords can claim £500 per socket at rental properties, and businesses £500 per socket through the Workplace Charging Scheme. Homeowners with their own driveway aren't eligible. We check which scheme applies when we quote and deduct it for you.

How soon can you install in Durham?

The photo survey replaces a home visit for most installs, so there is no extra appointment to wait for. Once you accept your fixed quote we book you into the next available slot and confirm the date with your quote.
