EV charger installation is priced from £300, covering the fitting of the unit and the dedicated circuit that feeds it from your consumer unit. - EV charger installation: from £300 - £300 is a starting price, and what changes yours is the distance from the board to the parking space, the spare capacity in that board and the charge point you pick. - You get the price in writing before any work begins, so nothing on the invoice arrives as a surprise. ## Who needs an EV charger fitted in Poole? An EV charger installed at home or at work in Poole starts at £300 and gives the car its own circuit from your consumer unit. ### Homeowners with off street parking A driveway, garage or carport fixes the charge point position, and the distance back to the board sets the cable length. ### Drivers charging from a three pin plug A household socket and a trailing lead were never made for charging every night, and a wired charge point replaces both. ### Landlords fitting a charge point for tenants The charge point becomes part of the property's electrical installation, tested and certificated along with the circuit feeding it. ### Businesses with a staff or customer car park Commercial charge points are installed on single or three phase supplies, and MX2 Electrical works on both. ## EV chargers in Poole houses and flats Where a charge point goes in Poole depends on the age of the building, the position of the meter and how far the cable travels to the parking space. ### Old Town beside the Quay Old Town was rebuilt in Georgian style in the eighteenth century and has been a conservation area since 1975, so external cable placement matters. ### Canford Heath in BH17 The estate was built out from 1963 in the south and 1973 in the north, so boards and supply arrangements differ street by street. ### Branksome and Upper Parkstone in BH12 Edwardian and interwar houses sit beside a 1970s estate off Winston Avenue, so we check the main fuse and board before pricing. ### Hamworthy in BH15 Hamworthy grew from about 1,000 people in 1901 to over 13,000, with heavy building after the power station closed, so board ages vary widely. ### Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks in BH13 Large detached houses and apartment blocks fill the harbour side, so the cable either crosses a long drive or starts from a shared supply. ## What happens on the day Fitting a charge point takes three stages, from checking the incoming supply to handing you the certificate. ### We check the supply and the board We look at the main fuse rating, the meter position, the earthing arrangement and the spare capacity in your consumer unit. ### We mount and wire the charge point The unit goes on the wall or post you have chosen, and a dedicated protected circuit is added at the consumer unit. ### We test it and hand over the certificate We test the new circuit, show you how the charge point works and leave you the electrical installation certificate for it. ## Why customers in Poole choose MX2 Electrical MX2 Electrical is registered with NAPIT and TrustMark, puts every price in writing and tests the finished charge point circuit before leaving.

Installation starts at £300. The distance from your consumer unit to the parking space and the spare capacity in the board account for most of the difference. We put the full figure in writing before work starts. ### Do I need a new fuse board for an EV charger? Not always. What matters is whether your board has a spare way and the right protective device for a charging circuit. If it does not, consumer unit replacement starts at £500. ### Can a charger be fitted at a flat in Canford Cliffs or Sandbanks? It depends on which meter serves your parking space and how the cable reaches it. Apartment blocks in BH13 sit on a shared supply, so we check that before anything else. We tell you what is possible before you book. ### Is a 7kW charge point better than a three pin socket? A 7kW charge point supplies roughly three times the power of a 13A socket. It is also wired and protected to run at that level continuously, which a household socket is not. ### Does an EV charger have to be notified? Yes. A new charging circuit is notifiable work, and MX2 Electrical is registered with NAPIT, so it reaches building control through the scheme. The local electricity network operator is told about the charge point too. ### Can you fit a charger in a detached garage or outbuilding? Yes. An outbuilding takes its own supply from the board, with the cable either buried or clipped along the building. The length of that cable is the main thing that changes the price. ### My charger keeps tripping the electrics, can you look at it? Yes. Fault finding and repairs start at £70 an hour. We test the charging circuit, the protective device and the unit itself to find which one is at fault. ## Areas we cover around Poole MX2 Electrical covers Parkstone, Branksome, Canford Heath, Hamworthy, Canford Cliffs and Oakdale, across BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15 and BH17. ## Other electrical services in Poole MX2 Electrical also carries out consumer unit replacement from £500, EICR testing from £110, electric shower installation from £150 and fault finding from £70 an hour. - [Electrician in Poole](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-poole): Electrician in Poole for fault finding, EICRs, fuse boards, EV chargers and rewires.
