How do I find a good ev charger installer I can trust?
Direct answer below. Verified by the TradeMatch editorial team using current UK averages, accreditation rules and platform mechanics — last reviewed April 2026.
Three checks to run on any UK ev charger installer: (1) verified qualifications — for ev charger installers that means OZEV Approved Installer and Part P Certified; (2) public liability insurance and ID-verified registration; (3) reviews tied to completed jobs, not anonymous-reviewable open profiles. TradeMatch runs all three checks before a ev charger installer can quote on your job, then layers escrow protection on top. Compare 3–5 quotes side-by-side rather than ringing one number off a Google ad. Take note of which trades respond with detail (scope, timeline, materials, warranty) versus which throw a single round figure — the former is the relationship you want.

EV Charger Installers vetted against UK accreditation bodies
Every tradesperson is verified against the UK accreditation bodies that matter for the work — before they can quote.
- OZEVGovernment scheme — only OZEV-approved installers can claim EV grants.
- NICEICElectrical contractor certification body — Part P competent person scheme.
- NAPITCompetent person scheme for electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation.
- Part PBuilding Regulations requirement for domestic electrical work.
When you read the answer above, watch for these three things
- Verified qualifications — accept platform claims only when backed by a public register link to the issuing body.
- Money-held-until-sign-off — escrow is the difference between recoverable and unrecoverable spend. Open directories don't offer it.
- Reviews tied to completed jobs — anonymous open-review platforms drift. Verified-job-only reviews don't.
