Quick answer
EV charger installation in Leeds typically costs £800–£1,500. Home charging is far cheaper than public charging, especially on an overnight EV tariff
Why ev charger installation for a Leeds home
A home charger is far cheaper to run than public charging, especially on an overnight EV tariff where a full charge can cost a few pounds. Most Leeds homes take a 7 kW unit; a 22 kW charger needs a three-phase supply that few houses have. If you already have solar, a solar-aware charger can top the car up from surplus generation that would otherwise be exported, so you drive on your own roof. Every installation is by a NICEIC-registered electrician to the IET Wiring Regulations, includes a load assessment of your existing supply and consumer unit, and is notified to Northern Powergrid. Some households and rental or flat situations still qualify for the OZEV chargepoint grant, and we will tell you honestly whether you do. It is a small job compared with a full solar install, usually completed in a few hours.

What you save
Your savings come from using your own power (avoiding roughly 27p per unit imported) and from the Smart Export Guarantee for the surplus you export (around 12p per unit on the best tariffs, as at 2026). Because a unit you use is worth about twice one you export, self-consumption is where the value is — and it survives every export-rate change. See the honest maths on our Leeds cost page and whether solar is worth it.
Common questions about ev charger installation
What if my roof faces the wrong way?
East–west roofs still produce roughly 85–90% of a south-facing roof and spread generation across the morning and evening, which can suit your usage better. The one case we'll tell you NOT to bother is a genuinely north-only pitch — we'd rather lose the sale than fit something that won't perform.
What if you go bust and I'm left with no warranty?
That's exactly what the insurance-backed guarantee is for — it steps in specifically if our company ever ceased trading, honouring the workmanship warranty. It isn't a 'fix anything forever' policy; anyone who claims that should worry you. Your product warranties are with the panel and inverter manufacturers regardless.
Can't I just get solar panels for free in Leeds?
There's no general 'free solar from Leeds City Council' for ordinary homeowners. Free or funded solar exists only through means-tested routes like ECO4 and Warm Homes for low-income households in low-EPC homes, usually bundled with insulation or heating. 'Free' rent-a-roof deals give a company your roof and can complicate selling your home — owning the system keeps the savings yours.
Certified and protected
Every install is MCS-certified (required for Smart Export Guarantee payments), RECC-registered for deposit protection and independent dispute resolution, and covered by an insurance-backed workmanship warranty that steps in if the installer ever ceased trading. Panels carry a 25–30 year warranty. We will tell you honestly if this is not right for your home.
