I have an electric vehicle, what is the process for having a charger installed?

Each installation varies slightly for different reasons however a standard installation follows the below steps:

  1. Cabling will be run through the wall from the EV charger & consumer unit (fusebox). Cables will be covered with plastic conduit or trunking.
  2. Installation of EV charger onto wall
  3. Electrical connections at the origin of supply & EV charger
  4. Installation of Type A RCD/RCBO in consumer unit (fuseboard) or external unit
  5. Electrical testing & NICEIC certification
  6. Demonstration to you of charging functions
