Hi I’ve been asked to quote and install a ev car charger on a domestic property as I haven’t quoted for one before and I usually do price work not day rate what would your recommend I charge it’s a fairly simple job as the main fuse is in the garage where the charger will be installed on the outside wall
Any help would be appreciated thank you

Forgot to mention that the client will be supplying the ev charger and new consumer unit
 
Break it down.

It’s just a circuit, with an appliance on the end.


As above, though… it’s the setting up, the extra paperwork, the fact that if customer supplies, then is it a charge point that is allowed to be sold in UK?
 
How much of your day will the installation tie you up for, including travelling to and from the job, showing them how to use the app, certifying the job etc?

The job is pretty local to me 15min drive the cert won’t take long as it’s only one circuit
It’s mainly the time taken to install the charger and the new consumer unit for the charger
Time I estimate half a day at most I will be doing other jobs on the property also but I normally quote price work and not day rate so I’ve been ok quoting the other stuff

Yes it’s an Anderson ev charger
I would normally charger £150 for a cert but as it one circuit would it be cheeky of me to charge the same
I don’t normally to hourly rate but more price work as I tend to work pretty fast so it doesn’t benefit me to charge hourly rate a lot of the time

Looking again the conductor coming from the lh fuse and the lh n appear to be in heat shrink as does the earth. Looks a bit 'home made' as though...
