work based charging
Discussion
Would anyone who has managed to get a work based charger installed be kind enough to share the costs with me? I work for a large university, and yet there are no charging points or plans to have them installed, which I think is a real shame (perhaps a tad selfish of me)
We seem to have budget for just about every other project so if I can get some real figures together I'm hoping I can persuade the decision makers to go forward with this and improve our green credentials!!!
Thanks

Charging units themselves are about £400 (nuWorld Energy supply them).
The cost for an electrician to run some 6mm2 cable and fit an RCD ... that's finger in the air time.
No more than £250 for the sparky though, unless your electricians are gouging or you want it in the middle of nowhere.

In general the bulk of the costs will be on the ground works and the preparation of the where the Chargers need to be compared to the mains power/distribution board.
We've seen a dual outlet fast (32a) charger installed for less than £1500 (wall mounted and only a shortish distance from the board, surface cable) to an average £3-6k for a couple free standing, middle of a car park away from the building installs.
In Scotland theres grant funding but I think it's a bit council postcode lottery for any funding towards chargers in England/Wales. As the other poster mention I think zero carbon are still offering some free so might be worth a look for some single charge points.
PM if you want more info
Eta: the prices mentioned in other posts are for single 16 or 32amp chargers. Dual outlet chargers are more but need less cabling than multiple single ones and £250 for a sparky will be based on 2-3 hours with short runs and wall mounted - more domestic than a commercial/public charge point install
