The standard is a single hole in a wall, 15 metres of cable and installing on a wall. Extras scope from a few more metres of cable up to digging trenches, creating fixing points, upgrading the supply to the house. The cost can go north incredibly quickly but you will need the survey to understand exactly what needs doing.
When I fitted chages upto a couple of years ago prior before my illness got to bad, You used to give a price for the Job factoring in drill bits, The installation would include as many holes drilling as needed, trenches dug if needed and enough SWA cable needed to complete the job, plus all interior work. We would fill in survey sheets, liase with the DNO if the premises required its supply updating, delooping and Cut out upgrading (fuse) The DNO would carry out any work under a minor works order, free of charge for first time EVCP installations, abeit the majority of my work was commercial, with domestic installs done when time was available.
This standard installation Motability pay for is the best of two evils. With the majority of installs falling under the standard catorgory, Those that don’t cost upto £1%0 onto of the standard install or can work out much dearer that a standard install isn’t worth it. I do think however, Motability should knock off a percentage of the AP of the cost of the charger or credit your bank if you fall outside the standard installation and its cheaper to pay someone else!
@Mike your worring over nothing if Motability hasn’t instructed a survey or you haven’t filled out the forms yet 🙂
Is your consumer unit (fuse box) on or near an external wall near to where you want you charger located, Do you have a spare way in you consumer unit, to fit an MCB (circuit breaker) for the charger, If not do you have space next or near to the consumer unit for a sall cnsumer unit? Do you know what size tails (cables are coming from the electric meter to your consumer unit (or post any photos of you meter cupboard) How old is your home approx?
