How much does the Andersen Quartz cost?

The Andersen Quartz costs £672 for the hardware. The estimated installed total is £1,107–£1,472. It is not eligible for the OZEV government grant.

Is the Andersen Quartz compatible with Tesla?

Yes. The Andersen Quartz uses the Type 2 connection used by UK Tesla models. Actual AC charging speed is limited by the lower of the vehicle's onboard-charger limit, the property's supply and the charger's 7.2kW single-phase capability.

What warranty does the Andersen Quartz come with?

The Andersen Quartz comes with a 7 years warranty. It is not currently recorded as eligible for the OZEV home-chargepoint grant.

What is the power output of the Andersen Quartz?

The Andersen Quartz supports 7.2kW on single phase and up to 22kW on a suitable three-phase supply. A 20–80% time depends on the Tesla model's usable battery capacity and AC limit as well as the available supply.

Can the Andersen Quartz charge from solar panels?

Yes. The Andersen Quartz has native solar support and can prioritise measured surplus generation for the car when the required metering is installed.

Does the Andersen Quartz work with smart energy tariffs?

The Andersen Quartz can integrate directly with supported supplier tariffs. Compatibility, eligibility and rates vary by provider, so confirm the specific tariff before switching.

The installed range is an estimate. The source date above is separate from the editorial review date.

The compact Andersen, from £672 — £228 under the A3 and, pointedly, without the hidden-cable trick that made the A3 famous. A coated-aluminium fascia, a seven-year warranty, and the Andersen concierge install still in the box.

The case for it is finish. Eleven standard colours, optional Accoya wood or carbon inserts, and, Andersen claim, over a hundred combinations once you factor in the fascia options. 286 × 172 × 110 mm — a third shorter and nearly half the width of the A3 — and a choice of 5.5 m or 8.5 m tethered cable, or socketed if you'd rather bring your own. What it isn't is the smartest charger on the market. Scheduling is competent, Intelligent Octopus Go and OVO Charge Anytime are supported, solar is handled by the included CT clamp — and that's the list.

Best for: buyers who want the Andersen look without the Andersen price, and who'd rather the charger didn't shout.

Installation

Fitting the Andersen Quartz.

Installed weight 3.4–5.2 kg depending on configuration, 286 × 172 × 110 mm, IP65 rated — a step above the Tesla Wall Connector and Andersen A3 at IP44 for exposed walls. Built-in 6 mA DC leakage protection and PEN fault detection to BS 7671 722.411.4.1, so no separate earth rod and usually no Type B RCD upstream — a 40A Type A RCBO or Type A RCD with 40A MCB is what Andersen's datasheet asks for. The 8.5 m cable adds £99 and solves most drive-length problems; it also needs somewhere to go when not in use, and the socketed Quartz has no cable hook built in. Andersen installs sit above the generic £400–500 range — the "Essential" package starts from around £435, routinely £600–800 once brick drilling, cable runs, or consumer-unit work enter the quote.

Tariff compatibility

What it costs to run.

Scheduling is done in the Andersen app, and as of September 2025 the Quartz talks directly to Intelligent Octopus Go — the charger accepts Octopus's smart-charging plan and charges when told, rather than on a timer you set yourself. OVO Charge Anytime is also supported. On a fixed two-rate tariff like Octopus Go it's fine either way. On half-hourly Octopus Agile, the Ohme Home Pro remains the charger that chases cheap slots without intervention. More in our tariff guide.

Price

What you actually pay.

The unit is currently £672. £435–£800 is the working installation range, putting a typical installed total at £1,107–£1,472. The final figure depends on the cable route, consumer unit and any groundwork.

Five-year total

£2,433

Charger, installation, and five years of electricity on Octopus Intelligent Go, at 10,000 miles a year.

Against the field

How it compares.

The honest comparison is with the Andersen A3. Same warranty, same concierge install, two-thirds the footprint, £228 less — and without the concealed-cable drum that's the A3's defining feature. If the cable-hidden-inside-the-wall trick is what drew you to Andersen, the Quartz isn't that charger; if it's the colour palette and the finish, it is. Against the Simpson & Partners Home 7: the Simpson is cheaper, British-made, three-phase capable, with a similar design-first brief in a different register. Against the Tesla Wall Connector: the Tesla does the same electrical job for £197 less with a longer cable and tighter app integration. Against the Ohme Home Pro: the Ohme wins on smart-tariff automation and half-hourly pricing. The Quartz's case is finish and warranty, not features. If no-one will ever see the charger, buy something else.
