The UK’s EV landscape is shifting faster than ever. With the used EV market reaching a record 4% share of all used car sales in Q3 2025, demand is clearly accelerating, not just for electric vehicles, but for the infrastructure that supports them.
This growth opens a massive opportunity for EV charger installers, especially as more households and businesses transition from petrol/diesel to electric. But with rising demand comes a need for smarter, simpler installation pathways.
At Electric Miles, we’ve been closely tracking these market shifts to understand what drivers really want and why installers need to stay ahead.
Why the surge in used EVs matters
The used EV boom is driven by three key trends:
1. More affordability → More first-time buyers
With prices dropping across pre-owned EV models, the entry barrier is lower. A new demographic, young families, first-time EV owners, and budget-conscious buyers are rapidly coming in.
2. These buyers need home and workplace charging
A majority of used EV owners don’t have bundled charging solutions. They rely directly on independent installers to help them get set up quickly and safely.
3. Charger compatibility matters more than ever
Used EV owners often worry about:
- Which chargers will work with their car,
- Future-proofing for upgrades, and
- Finding trustworthy installers.
Installers who can guide them confidently instantly stand out.
Where Installers can win big right now
This shift creates a clear path for installer growth:
Growing demand for cost-effective home chargers
Owners of used EVs are highly motivated to install reliable chargers, not necessarily the most expensive ones, but the most compatible and future-ready.
Commercial locations are catching up
Small businesses, retail stores, cafés, and hospitality venues are adopting EV chargers to attract customers, especially as more EV drivers enter the market.
Faster turnaround expectations
Customers now want:
- Next-day installation slots,
- Simple “no confusion” buying journey,
- Verified hardware, and
- Easy maintenance support.
Installers who can deliver speed + clarity will dominate.
