A support apparatus 1 for an electric vehicle (EV) charging point comprising: an adjustable elongate support 2 which includes apertures 10 for an electric cable; means 5, 6 for securing the support apparatus to a ceiling and a floor; and maybe one or more mounts 11 for a charging point operating panel. The elongate support may be telescopic comprising two portions: the first, narrower portion 3 attached to the floor; and the second, wider portion 4 attached to the ceiling. The first portion may be longer than the second. Each of the securing means may comprise plates 8 or flanges 15 with holes 17, 18 for fasteners, a protrusion to engage the support (9, Fig. 2), and maybe a hole 14, 19 for a cable. These charging points may be installed in a car port, a car park, or a charging facility which may have a plurality of these charging points, perhaps on several levels (20, Fig. 5). The support may come as a kit of parts and installing it may be accomplished attaching one end to the ceiling or the floor while collapsed before extending it and attaching the other end before providing a power cable.
