EV charger installation at home in A Coruña

What does the price of an EV charger depend on?
We don't put a price in this article on purpose: it depends on your home and on that month's materials, and an article doesn't change when they do. What we can tell you is what moves it:
- Where the line comes from. Normally it's taken from your home's fuse box. If it comes straight from the meter, like any line it needs its own protection at the start, which means a box just for it.
- How many metres to the car. The further it is, the more cable and work, and the thicker the cable has to be so it doesn't lose voltage when charging at full power.
- Single-phase or three-phase. In a single-phase home, the usual charger is 7.4 kW; with three-phase, it can be 11 or 22 kW.
- Wall or post. If the car doesn't sleep next to a wall, the charger goes on a post, which is another item.
- Charging with surplus sun. It's an optional accessory, and it saves less than it seems: each kWh the car charges with sun instead of overnight saves a few cents.
- The electrical certificate (boletín). Always: the charger is legalised with its electrical installation certificate. That's what proves the installation is legal, and the deduction requires it to be.
With a photo of your fuse box and of where you park, we'll give you the price in writing.
How long does the installation take?
The work takes a day in a normal house, from the fuse box and with the line along the wall. Then comes the certificate. If you're also installing panels, it's done in the same visit.
Is my contracted power enough?
A single-phase charger draws up to 7.4 kW, and a typical home has 4.6 or 5.75 kW contracted. Added to the rest of the house, you can go over. There are two ways:
- Increase the contracted power: simple, but you pay for it on every bill, every month.
- A charger with load management: it measures what the house uses and lowers the car's charging so you don't go over. You charge a bit more slowly at busy times and don't touch the fixed charge. It's the one we usually fit.
If you're also thinking about panels to charge the car, we cover it in solar panels to charge an electric car, and with the calculator you can see how many fit on your roof.
What if I live in a flat with a shared garage?
If your parking space is your own, you don't need the owners' meeting to approve it: the Horizontal Property Law only requires you to notify the community beforehand, and the cost of the installation and the electricity it uses are yours (article 17.5, BOE, checked on 27/10/2026). We'll prepare that notice if you need it.
What VAT does the charger have?
The charger has 21 % VAT, not the 10 % of the solar panel work. If you're comparing quotes, always check whether the price includes VAT or not.
What tax deduction is there for an EV charger installation?
The charging point has its own income tax (IRPF) deduction, separate from the one for panels. According to the Spanish Tax Agency (page dated 17/03/2026):
- It's 15 % of what you pay for the equipment, materials, installation and works, on a base of up to €4,000 a year: at most €600.
- The charger must be in a property you own: your house, or your space in a shared garage you co-own.
- Payment by card, transfer or nominal cheque; cash doesn't count. If you get a grant, it's subtracted.
- It doesn't apply if the charger is for a business activity.
And the date: Royal Decree-law 7/2026 extends it to payments made until 31 December 2026, with the installation finished in 2026 (Spanish Tax Agency, 2026 changes, checked on 27/10/2026). If you want it this year, don't leave it for the last week.
The one for panels is different, and you can have it as well as the charger's:
| EV charger | Panels on a house | |
|---|---|---|
| Deduction | 15 % | up to 60 % |
| Base | up to €4,000 a year | up to €5,000 a year, €15,000 in total |
| At most | €600 | €3,000 per tax return |
| Deadline | paid by 31/12/2026 | paid by 31/12/2027 |
| Requires | a property you own, not paid in cash | an energy certificate before and another after |

What does the price of an EV charger installation depend on?
On where the line comes from (the home's fuse box or the meter), the metres to the car, whether it's single-phase or three-phase, whether it goes on a wall or a post, whether you want to charge with surplus sun, and the electrical certificate. With a photo of your fuse box we'll give you the price in writing.
Do I need the community's permission to install a charger in my garage space?
No, if the space is your own: the Horizontal Property Law (article 17.5) only requires notifying the community beforehand. The cost and the electricity the charger uses are yours.
What tax deduction does an EV charger have, and until when?
15 % of what you pay, on a base of up to €4,000 a year, so at most €600. It applies to payments until 31 December 2026, with the installation finished that year, in a property you own and not paid in cash.
Can I install the charger without solar panels?
Yes. It's a separate installation. Many people start with the charger and add panels later, once they see how much their consumption goes up.
Solariña
We design and install solar self-consumption systems for homes all over Galicia, mainly in the province of A Coruña. Every study starts from your bill and your measured roof; the work is done by an authorised installer, who signs the electrical certificate, and the energy certificates are signed by a qualified technician. If something doesn't pay off for you, we'll tell you.
