Frequently Asked Questions

What types of EV chargers are available?

There are three main types:

  • Slow (3kW) – Ideal for overnight home charging.
  • Fast (7–22kW) – Common for homes and workplaces.
  • Rapid (43–150kW+) – Typically found at service stations for quick top-ups.
How long does it take to charge an EV?

Charging time depends on the charger type and vehicle battery. For example:

  • 3kW = 8–12 hours
  • 7kW = 4–6 hours
  • 50kW = 30–60 minutes
Can I get a charger installed at home?

Yes! Most EV owners install a dedicated wall box charger at home for faster, safer charging than a standard 3-pin socket.

Do I need planning permission?

Usually not, unless you live in a listed building or a conservation area. It’s best to check with your local authority.

How much does an EV charger installation cost?

Costs vary based on charger type, location, and complexity. Home installations typically range from £800–£1,500, while commercial setups can be higher.

Is there any financial help or grants available?

Yes! The government offers grants for home and workplace charger installations through the OZEV scheme, helping reduce upfront costs.

Will an EV charger increase my electricity bill?

Yes, charging an EV uses electricity, but it’s significantly cheaper than fuel. Many switch to off-peak tariffs to save even more.

Can I install chargers at my business premises?

Absolutely. Many businesses install EV charge points to support employees, customers, or fleet vehicles—and it can boost your green credentials.

How do I choose the right charger?

It depends on your vehicle, budget, and how quickly you want to charge. We can help you assess your needs and recommend the best option.

Who can install an EV charger?

Only qualified electricians with EV charging certification should handle installation. At CTE Contractors, we’re fully certified and experienced.

Chris and his guys are really professional, and just very nice people to do business with.

I have used them many times now in my home for various projects and also my friends and family's homes.

Full house rewire in our house, along with spotlights and outside sockets and lights. Really pleased and I won’t be going anywhere else in future.

Chris and particularly Alex have been involved in a full refurb of our new property. We had a full rewire, plus many extras. They have all been absolutely fantastic. Very professional, helpful and great at their work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who requires electrical work. Thank you guys.
