EV charging

Home EV
chargers

A home charger is a dedicated point on the property, cabled back to the consumer unit, so the car charges from the supply at the house. Pentland Renewables surveys the supply, the cable route, and the place the car parks, then quotes the charger, the electrical materials, and the labour for homes in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

What the survey covers

The visit looks at the consumer unit, the capacity of the supply, the route from that board to the parking place, and how the cable is fixed along the wall or across the drive. The quote lists the charger, the electrical materials, and the labour. If the supply needs work before a charger can be added, that work is written in the same quote.

Where the house also has solar PV, or you want solar priced at the same time, the survey can look at both. They stay separate lines in the quote. The solar scope is on solar panels. A battery, if you want storage priced, is on battery storage. The longer charger note is home EV charging in Edinburgh.

The job sequence

You send the contact form with the postcode, the services you want priced, and a note about where the car parks. We survey the home. You receive the scope in writing, including materials and labour, before any work is agreed. The install is the charger described in that quote. The form collects your name, email, phone number, postcode, the services you select, and a message about the home.

The workshop is Unit 2b Eastfield Industrial Estate, Penicuik, EH26 8HA. The work is for homes in Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian, and West Lothian. The quote names the charger position and the cable route for that house. Area notes are on Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian, West Lothian, and Penicuik.

VAT and funding we checked

0% VAT on solar installs until 31 March 2027. The same 0% covers a fitted heat pump, and from 1 February 2024 a home battery fitted at the house. The charger itself is priced in the quote.
