Current EV Charger Prices in Cardiff – August 2026 Update

EV Charger Price List – August 2026

As of August 2026, CoreTech Innovations lists EV charging products ranging from the £310 Hero 7 portable charger to the £530 Andro Vision Cable Type wallbox.

The current Andro Core range is priced from £350 to £370, the Andro Max from £450 to £480, and the Andro Vision from £500 to £530.

The Excalibur Socket Type and Cable Type commercial chargers are available on a quotation basis because the required system configuration and overall project cost depend on site-specific requirements.

These figures relate to charger hardware listed on the website and do not necessarily represent complete installed prices. Customers should confirm installation costs, VAT, electrical work and any additional equipment before ordering.

What Do You Get at the Lower End of the Range?

The Hero 7 and Andro Core Socket Type are the two most affordable products in the current range, but they are designed for different charging needs.

The Hero 7 focuses on portability and flexible charging, while the Andro Core is designed as a permanently installed 7kW home wallbox.

Hero 7 Portable EV Charger – £310

At £310, the Hero 7 is currently the lowest-priced EV charger listed by CoreTech Innovations.

It is a portable Type 2 charging solution with adjustable output of approximately 3.5kW to 7kW, depending on the available electrical supply and connection.

Its listed features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, app-based energy monitoring, a 2.8-inch display, a ten-metre output cable and a carrying case.

The Hero 7 may suit drivers who need a secondary charger, regularly charge at different suitable private locations or are not yet ready for a permanent wallbox installation.

Portable charging still depends on a suitable electrical supply, so the available circuit, adaptor, socket and property infrastructure should be appropriate for EV charging.

Andro Core Socket Wallbox – £350

The Andro Core Socket Type is the lowest-priced fixed wallbox in the range and is currently listed at £350.

It provides up to 7kW charging through a Type 2 socket and requires the driver to use a separate charging cable between the wallbox and the vehicle.

Its listed functions include charge scheduling, energy-consumption reporting, RFID access, remote software updates and emergency control.

For a Cardiff homeowner with off-street parking, the £40 price difference between Hero 7 and Andro Core represents a choice between portable charging flexibility and a permanently installed home charging point.

Socketed or Tethered: Why Is There a Price Difference?

Each Andro wallbox is available in both Socket Type and Cable Type versions.

A socketed charger has a Type 2 outlet without a permanently attached charging lead, while a Cable Type or tethered charger keeps the vehicle cable connected to the unit.

In the August 2026 range, the Cable Type version adds £20 to the Andro Core price and £30 to both the Andro Max and Andro Vision prices.

The choice mainly depends on convenience, cable storage and parking layout rather than charging speed.

Andro Core Prices: £350 to £370

The Andro Core Socket Type is currently listed at £350, while the Cable Type version is priced at £370.

Both versions provide up to 7kW charging and are compatible with Type 2 vehicles under the IEC 62196-2 charging standard.

The Andro Core is suited to drivers who want scheduled overnight charging and useful energy reporting without paying for more advanced home-energy management features.

Vehicle compatibility should still be checked because an EV with a lower onboard AC charging limit may not draw the full 7kW available from the wallbox.

Andro Max Prices: £450 to £480

The Andro Max Socket Type is currently listed at £450, while the Cable Type version costs £480.

It retains the same 7kW charging output as the Andro Core but adds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile-app control, Dynamic Load Balancing and solar PV integration.

Dynamic Load Balancing can adjust charging power in response to household electricity demand, helping the property make better use of its available electrical capacity.

Solar integration may be useful for households with photovoltaic panels or plans to add them, although the practical benefit depends on the wider energy system and the amount of surplus solar generation available.

The Max costs £100 more than the equivalent Core Socket Type and £110 more in Cable Type form, so buyers should consider whether the additional smart features are likely to provide real value.

Andro Vision Prices: £500 to £530

The Andro Vision Socket Type is currently listed at £500, while the Cable Type version is priced at £530.

Like the Andro Max, it provides 7kW charging, app control, scheduling, Dynamic Load Management, solar integration and remote software updates.

The main visible addition is an LCD screen that displays charging information directly on the charger.

The Andro Vision costs £50 more than the equivalent Andro Max model, so its additional value mainly depends on whether the owner prefers having charging information visible directly on the unit.

Why Commercial EV Charger Prices Are Provided on Request

CoreTech Innovations does not publish a fixed retail price for the Excalibur commercial charger range because commercial EV charging projects vary significantly between sites.

The Excalibur Socket Type is specified as a three-phase dual-output charger providing two 22kW outputs, for a total rated output of 44kW.

Its listed functions include Dynamic Load Management, MID energy meters, OCPP connectivity, remote software updates and user authentication through options including RFID, QR code and app-based controls.

A commercial quotation may also need to account for electrical capacity, distribution-board upgrades, trenching, mounting infrastructure, network connections, software services, parking arrangements and future expansion.

For this reason, workplaces, hotels, fleet depots and other commercial sites should budget from a site-specific assessment rather than relying on a generic hardware figure.

Hardware Price Versus Installed Price

A charger listed at £350 does not mean that the complete home installation will necessarily cost £350.

Installation may require a dedicated electrical circuit, protective equipment, cable containment, drilling, cable routing, connection to the consumer unit, testing and commissioning.

The final quotation can increase where there are long cable runs, difficult access, detached garages, groundworks or electrical equipment that needs to be upgraded.

Cardiff's varied housing stock means installation complexity can differ considerably between a modern property with convenient driveway access and an older or extended home.

When comparing quotations, customers should check whether the charger, installation labour, cable length, electrical protection, commissioning, VAT, warranty and aftercare are included.

Is the Cheapest Charger the Best Value?

The lowest-priced charger can be the right choice when it suits the vehicle, property and charging routine, but purchase price should not be the only consideration.

Buyers should compare whether they need a fixed or portable charger, Socket Type or Cable Type convenience, scheduling, energy reporting, Dynamic Load Balancing, solar compatibility, app control or a direct screen display.

Paying more for solar integration may provide little immediate value for a household with no plans to install photovoltaic panels, while selecting a basic charger may prove less suitable for a property already planning future energy upgrades.

All of CoreTech Innovations' current domestic Andro wallboxes provide up to 7kW charging, so the price differences relate mainly to format, connectivity and energy-management features rather than higher charging output.

Which Charger Fits Which Budget?

For buyers prioritising portability and the lowest published hardware price, the Hero 7 at £310 is the entry point into the current range.

For fixed home charging, the £350 Andro Core Socket Type is the least expensive wallbox, while the £370 Cable Type version adds tethered-cable convenience.

The Andro Max range at £450 to £480 is better suited to households that value app control, Dynamic Load Balancing and solar integration.

The Andro Vision range at £500 to £530 adds an LCD display alongside advanced smart charging and energy-management features.

Commercial customers should request a tailored quotation for the Excalibur range rather than estimating project costs from domestic charger prices.

Looking Ahead

Cardiff's EV charging market continues to include a growing mix of fixed home wallboxes, portable chargers, workplace charging, on-street facilities and public rapid infrastructure.

For buyers in August 2026, the most important budgeting lesson is to look beyond the charger hardware price and consider installation, electrical preparation, accessories and long-term energy costs.

CoreTech Innovations' current published prices begin at £310 for the Hero 7 and range from £350 to £530 for domestic Andro wallboxes, while Excalibur commercial charging systems are individually quoted.

The most suitable charger depends on the property, parking arrangement, vehicle and energy-management features the owner will actually use.

Prices, specifications and product availability may change, so buyers should check the current EV Chargers page before placing an order or requesting a quotation.
