Will 2023 bring you a new car for leisure or work? Check out what you need to know about having an EV charger point installed at your property.

If you’re already driving an electric vehicle, have one on order waiting in anticipation or you’re considering your options for your next car/van we’ve put together a check list below to show our customers what we do during a site survey at your home for an EV charger point. This may help you understand what does into your installation as it’s not always as straight forward as plug and charge. As NICEIC approved contractors and OZEV approved installers you can trust us to provide a quality service and provide you with the correct information you require to make your decision.

EV Home Charger Point Site Survey Checklist:

Is there adequate demand
Check the bonding

What type of earth system in currently being used
Rating and condition of the existing distribution equipment
Has the fixed wiring been recently inspected or check when the next inspection is due
Check if planning permission is required
Is there surge protection installed
Check the mobile data signal available
Find a suitable location for equipment that the customer is happy with
Is the proposed charge point location within WiFi range
Is there capacity on the customer's existing router for additional connection
Carry out a risk assessment for the installation

If there are any government grants available for an electric vehicle charge point it is a requirement do have a EV charger site survey so we ensure that with every quote request we carry out a site survey. This helps to give you an exact cost for your proposed installation and no hidden costs, your current installation may require additional works for your charger.
