Heading 5
4 EASY STEPS
1. Book A Survey
2. Application
We highly recommend having a survey done, our friendly engineer will go through a 38 point review of your existing system, where after they will provide any recommendations based on your current electrical system. You will receive a checklist and photos of key items and our quotation.
​
Our Survey fee is £120 (inc VAT), 50% refunded if you decide to accept our quote and decide to have your charger/s installed by us. Our survey will provide all the details required for any other installer to quote, should you decide to shop around. Click HERE for survey, where we call to arrange a time at your convenience. You can also chose not to have a survey done – go to our services page.
Dorset EV is authorised by the Government ‘Office Of Zero Emission Vehicle’ or OZEV for short, where qualified applicants are able to claim the government grant. For Home Charge Grant Scheme or Work Place Charge Scheme, we will claim the grant on your behalf up to 75% of the installation cost, up to a maximum of £350 per charger.
