Electric Car Charging Points

With the rise in popularity of Electric Cars, we pleased to announce that we are certified to carry out Electric Car charger installations / EV charger installs.

There is a few points to consider when thinking about having an Electric Car Charging point installed –

  • does your electrical supply have the capacity to accommodate an Electric Vehicle Charger? Typically this will require a main fuse with a 100a rating
  • are the meter tails, main earth and bonding up do date and of the correct size?
  • does your consumer unit or fuse board have a spare way to install the new circuit?
  • does your consumer unit have an SPD (surge protection device), well worth considering when you are investing this much money into your new car
  • you will need your MPAN number, this is a 13 digit reference number that should be on your electricity bill
  • is your main supply looped?, this typically means your supply is shared with other properties and may limit the rating of Electric Car Charger you would be able to connect
  • where would you like your charge unit located? you need to think about where you will park the car and where the charge point on the vehicle is
  • where will the charge cable be trailing?
  • what charge speed do you need? Typically a 7kW charger will be more than adequate for an overnight charge from flat. And remember, a 22kW charger would require a 3 phase supply
  • what capacity does the vehicles onboard charger have? there might be little point having an 11kW charger if your car can only accept 3.7kW
  • what functions would you like your charger to have? is a basic charger all you require or do you want APP connectivity, Dynamic load management, solar compatibility or timed charging?
  • do you have a preference on brand, colour, finish or fitment?

We can usually answer most of these queries if you can provide a few photos and drawings

We can provide either

Untethered Universal socket type chargers,

where the cable is plugged in and stored separately. These are useful if you have vehicles with different types of connectors. But this does mean you have to retrieve the cable from the boot of your car and plug in both ends every time you want to charge up

or

Tethered chargers,

these have the charging cable wired directly to the charging unit, but do require the correct type of plug for the car. The cable is normally stored wrapped around the exterior of the Electric Car charger unit
