Quick answer
In short
A home EV charger costs on average €800 to €1,900 including installation. The EV charger itself costs €500 to €1,200, and installation by a certified engineer €300 to €700. Charging at home then costs around €0.30 to €0.40 per kWh, much cheaper than a public charging point.

Prices by situation
Prices at a glance
Price by type of EV charger, including installation
The type of EV charger (single or three-phase, with or without smart charging) and the installation together determine most of the price. These are guide prices including hardware, fitting and connection to the NEN 1010 standard.
| Type of EV charger | Power | Phase | Total incl. installation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic wallbox | 3.7 kW | single-phase | € 800 to € 1.200 |
| Smart wallbox | 3.7 kW | single-phase | € 1.000 to € 1.400 |
| Three-phase wallbox | 11 kW | three-phase | € 1.200 to € 1.700 |
| Smart three-phase wallbox | 11 to 22 kW | three-phase | € 1.400 to € 1.900 |
Guide prices incl. VAT and installation. You always get a fixed price upfront based on your own situation and meter cabinet.
Extra work and individual parts
Sometimes extra work comes up, for example a long cable distance or a meter cabinet that first needs to go to three-phase. These are the most common additional prices.
| Item | Guide price |
|---|---|
| To three-phase (11 kW) instead of single-phase | € 150 to € 300 |
| Extra cable beyond 10 metres | € 8 to € 15 per metre |
| Cable trunking or wall feed-through | € 50 to € 150 |
| Wall bracket or free-standing post | € 100 to € 250 |
| Load balancing (dynamic charging) | € 150 to € 350 |
| Adjust meter cabinet or fuse box | from € 250 |
We always discuss extra work upfront. No surprises afterwards.
What does charging cost per kWh?
Where you charge makes a big difference to the price per kWh. These are guide prices, depending on your energy contract. Charging at home is usually the cheapest, especially if you charge on your own solar power.
| Where do you charge? | Guide price per kWh |
|---|---|
| At home (your own EV charger) | € 0,30 to € 0,40 |
| Public charging point | € 0,50 to € 0,70 |
| Rapid charging on the motorway | € 0,70 to € 0,90 |
Guide prices, depending on your energy contract and provider. If you charge at home during the day on your own solar panels, the price per kWh is lower still.
Price breakdown
What determines the price of a home EV charger?
No two driveways are the same. Together these points determine what your EV charger costs. That way you understand where your price comes from.
Type and power of the EV charger
A basic single-phase EV charger is cheaper than a three-phase 11 kW model. Smart charging, a display or solar charging make the EV charger more expensive, but often well worth it.
Single-phase or three-phase
With three-phase (11 kW) you charge considerably faster. Your meter cabinet has to be able to handle that, though. If it is still single-phase, an upgrade via grid operator Enexis is sometimes needed.
Distance to the meter cabinet
The further the EV charger is from the meter cabinet, the more cable and work. A driveway at the front with a meter cabinet at the back of the house costs more than a short, straight run.
Fitting and feed-through
Mounting on the wall is the simplest. A free-standing charger on a post, or cable through a wall, garden or crawl space, costs extra time and materials.
Condition of your meter cabinet
An EV charger belongs on its own circuit with the right protection. If your fuse box is full or outdated, an adjustment is needed before the EV charger can be added.
Smart charging and load balancing
Do you want to charge on your own solar power or prevent the fuses tripping at peak use? Then load balancing is sensible. That requires a smart EV charger and a little extra installation.
Worked examples
Worked examples from practice
To give a feel for the price, here are three situations of the kind we often come across in Brabant. You always get your price upfront, fixed and tailored.
Terraced house, single-phase EV charger on the wall
A family with one electric car and a driveway right next to the meter cabinet. A basic single-phase 3.7 kW EV charger is more than enough to fully charge the car overnight.
- Basic wallbox 3.7 kW, single-phase€ 650
- Installation and connection (short cable)€ 350
- Call-out charge€ 39
Short cable, mounted on the wall, own circuit in the meter cabinet. Finished and tested in half a day.
Semi-detached house, three-phase with meter cabinet check
A couple with two electric cars want to charge faster and choose a smart three-phase 11 kW EV charger. The meter cabinet was still single-phase and had to go to three-phase first.
- Smart wallbox 11 kW, three-phase€ 1.050
- Installation and connection€ 450
- Add a circuit in the fuse box€ 120
- Call-out charge€ 39
The three-phase connection itself requires Enexis; we arrange that application for you. See also our meter cabinet upgrade cost page.
Detached house, EV charger on a post
A house with a long driveway where there is no wall nearby. The EV charger goes on a free-standing post, with a 15-metre cable through cable trunking to the meter cabinet.
- Smart wallbox 11 kW, three-phase€ 1.000
- Installation and connection€ 400
- Free-standing post€ 180
- Extra cable (5 metres beyond 10 m)€ 60
- Call-out charge€ 39
More cable and a post make it a little more expensive, but the EV charger stands exactly where the car parks.
Good to know
What exactly are you paying for, and what does charging cost?
A home EV charger is more than a plug on the wall. This is what is in the price, what charging costs and how it stands with subsidies.
The EV charger, the installation and the safety
The EV charger (wallbox) itself makes up part of the price. A basic single-phase model is available from around €500, while a smart three-phase EV charger runs up to €1,200. More expensive models offer smart charging, solar charging, an app and sometimes a display.
A certified engineer does the installation: running the cable, putting a dedicated circuit with the right earth leakage protection in the meter cabinet, mounting the EV charger and connecting and testing everything to the NEN 1010 standard. Reckon on €300 to €700, depending on the cable distance, the feed-through and the condition of your meter cabinet.
What does charging at home cost per kWh?
Charging at home costs around €0.30 to €0.40 per kWh, depending on your energy contract. If you have solar panels and charge during the day on your own power, that is a lot lower.
For comparison: a public charging point soon charges €0.50 to €0.70 per kWh, and rapid charging on the motorway is more expensive still. Reckoning on a car that uses around 18 kWh per 100 km, a full battery of 60 kWh costs roughly €18 to €24 at home. For most people a home EV charger pays for itself within a few years.
Subsidy and tax relief: being honest
For an EV charger at a private home there is no broad national purchase subsidy in 2026. There are sometimes local or municipal schemes; it is worth checking with your own municipality. We promise you nothing that does not exist.
For business use it is different. If you use the EV charger (partly) for business, for example as an entrepreneur or sole trader, the costs are often tax-deductible and you can sometimes make use of schemes such as the MIA or EIA. Take advice from your accountant on this, because it depends on your situation.
VAT and what is in the price
All prices on this page are including 21% VAT and including installation. For fitting an EV charger at an existing home the normal VAT rate of 21% applies.
Our quote always states a fixed price: the EV charger, the cable, the labour, the call-out charge and the final test together. No after-the-fact billing, no surprises. Only if something unexpected turns up during the work, for example a meter cabinet that turns out to need adjusting, do we discuss it with you first before we continue.
Smart savings
Smart ways to save on your EV charger
Without compromising on safety, there are a few sensible ways to manage the costs.
Charge on your own solar power
Do you have solar panels? Then choose an EV charger that can charge on your own generated power. Charging during the day on solar energy is almost free and quickly repays the extra cost of a smart EV charger.
Combine the work
Does your meter cabinet need to go to three-phase anyway, or do you want solar panels or a home battery? Have it all done in one go. One journey and one job saves on the costs.
Choose the right power
If you charge overnight and drive ordinary distances, 3.7 kW is often already enough. Do not pay for 22 kW if your car and your usage do not call for it. We give honest advice on what suits you.
