EV Charger Installation in West London
EV charger installation across West London: Ealing, Hounslow, Hillingdon, Hammersmith, Harrow and Chiswick. Home and commercial, free survey, fixed quote.
West London is where the capital's switch to electric is being pushed hardest at street level. Hammersmith & Fulham has close to 2,800 public charging points, Ealing has passed 1,000, and a six-borough partnership including Hillingdon, Brent, Ealing, Harrow and H&F has secured £7.5 million of LEVI funding for a fresh wave of lamp-post chargers. That helps drivers who park on the street, but at 40-85p per kWh public charging still costs several times more than a home off-peak tariff of 7-10p.
Auto E designs and manufactures EV charging stations in the UK and, through our authorised partner installer, fits them across West London: Victorian terraces in Fulham and Chiswick, 1930s semis in Harrow and Ruislip, mansion blocks in Kensington, and the offices, hotels and depots along the A4, A40 and M4 towards Heathrow.
What we install across West London
Home wall boxes: 7 kW and 22 kW
Most West London homes have a single-phase supply, so a 7 kW wall box is the everyday choice. Where a property has, or later gains, three-phase power - worth checking in the larger houses of Holland Park, Ealing's Edwardian avenues and Chiswick's riverside streets - our wall-mounted 22 kW EF AC-WW22M (£1,449 ex VAT list) is the fit. Two-car households can choose the dual-socket EF AC-W22x2M (£1,649 ex VAT); renters can start with a portable charger from £399 (see our home charger guide).
Commercial and workplace posts
For the office campuses of Hammersmith, Chiswick Park and Stockley Park, the hotel belt around Heathrow, apartment blocks and retail car parks, we install dual-socket 22 kW posts (44 kW total) with load balancing and our own management platform for billing and access. See office, hotel and car park installation.
DC rapid charging
Our Charging Complex rapid units (£23,000 and £21,000 ex VAT before civils and grid connection) suit forecourts, fleet depots and destination sites along the A40 and A4. Grid capacity is checked with the DNO before we quote.
West London property types and what they mean for installation
- Terraces with only on-street parking (Fulham, Shepherd's Bush, Acton, Hanwell, Southall). Two local boroughs have taken a clear line on running a cable from house to kerb: Ealing does not currently permit cross-pavement charging, citing safety, liability and cost, and Kensington & Chelsea prohibits cables across pavements and has found no cross-pavement solution acceptable. In those streets residents rely on the lamp-column network (Ealing works with three on-street operators; RBKC has almost 700 lamp-column chargers, with over 90% of residents within 100 m). We tell you at survey whether a private charger is feasible.
- Semis and detached houses with driveways (Harrow, Pinner, Ruislip, Uxbridge, Osterley, Northolt, Hanger Hill). The simplest jobs in West London: wall box beside the drive, cable to the consumer unit, DNO notification. Harrow's rollout of 500 char.gy lamp-column chargers targets residents without a driveway; with one, a home charger is the cheaper long-term option.
- Flats and mansion blocks (Kensington, Hammersmith, Ealing Broadway, the Brentford and Chiswick riverside developments). Communal parking calls for a landlord- or management-company-led scheme with sub-metering; the 2026 chargepoint grant covers up to 200 sockets per landlord.
- Conservation areas and period frontages. RBKC will not fit chargers on its heritage-style Kensington Vestry lamp columns. On private property we site the unit on a side or rear elevation and route cable discreetly; if the building is listed, check with the council's planning team first.
- Older electrics. Pre-war West London houses often need consumer-unit or earthing upgrades, which is where the top of the price range comes from.

Grants available in 2026
- EV chargepoint grant, £500 per socket (from 1 April 2026) for renters, flat owners, landlords (up to 200 sockets) and on-street households using an approved cross-pavement solution, where the borough allows one - which in West London currently rules out Ealing and RBKC streets.
- Workplace Charging Scheme, £500 per socket, up to 40 sockets and 75% of costs, extended to March 2027 with a new digital application system from April 2026; state schools get £2,000 per socket. Businesses can also claim 100% first-year capital allowances on charge point equipment. See our WCS 2026 guide.

FAQ
I live in a terrace in Ealing or Fulham with no driveway. Can I have a home charger?
Only if you can park off the public highway. Ealing does not currently allow cross-pavement charging and RBKC prohibits cables over the pavement, so in those streets the lamp-column network is the practical route. If your borough approves a cross-pavement scheme, the £500 grant would apply.
Is 22 kW worth it for a West London home?
Only with a three-phase supply, which is unusual in domestic West London. On single phase a 7 kW unit is the sensible buy; the EF AC-WW22M is for properties that have or are getting three-phase.
Do you install near Heathrow and out to Uxbridge?
Yes. Hillingdon and Hounslow are part of our regular West London coverage for home and commercial work.
Can you fix a charger that another company installed?
Yes. Our home and commercial repair service covers any make.
