Does an EV charger add value to your home?

Market Value Uplift

Electric vehicle charging is an emerging home amenity that can boost property appeal. Recent UK studies suggest homes with charge points often sell for a premium. For example, the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB) estimates a home EV charger can add £3,000–£5,000 to your property’s value. These figures indicate that EV readiness is becoming attractive to buyers, much like having good energy efficiency or solar panels.

Buyers expect it

The HomeOwners Alliance also notes that as EVs become mainstream, prospective buyers will increasingly ask “Does the property have an EV charging point?”. Paula Higgins of the Alliance expects demand to grow, saying an EV charger – if installed properly – “is [likely] an increasingly important factor for prospective homebuyers” and can be “anything other than a positive feature” for your home‍. In other words, a well-installed charger signals modern convenience and environmental stewardship, which resonates with many buyers.

Modern home appeal

Of course, location and overall property condition still dominate price, so an EV charger isn’t a guaranteed huge return. Some areas may not yet value it highly, but the trend is clear: EV infrastructure is a selling point. Even if the direct monetary value increase is modest, having a charger differentiates your home in a competitive market. It can also speed up the sale if buyers already drive EVs or plan to switch.
