Does an EV charger add value to residential properties?

With the rapid advancements of electric vehicles on the road, the UK government will be ending the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 – with only electric vehicles being permitted as new purchases. According to The National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB), it is estimated that adding an EV charger to a home can add anywhere between £3,000 to £5,000 of value to a property.

How does an EV charger add value to properties?

Owning an EV charger can increase a property's financial, practical and environmental worth. Most owners of electric vehicle typically prefer to charge their vehicles at home, overnight. These EV chargers are installed in a garage, on a driveway or another off-road location.

According to The Eco Experts, charging an EV can save £492 a year rather than in public. However, this depends on whether the vehicle is hybrid or fully electric, the car’s brand, whether there are solar panels or whether there is an EV rate or energy tariff.
