View serviceFrequently Asked Questions
Straight answers before you book electrical work.
Do I need a dedicated circuit for an EV charger?
Most EV chargers require a suitable dedicated circuit and protective arrangements. The exact design depends on the property and charger.
Will my consumer unit need upgrading?
It may not, but the existing consumer unit and supply need checking before an EV charger is installed.
Can you advise before I choose a charger?
Yes. Tom can advise on the electrical side before installation so the property requirements are understood.
Can an EV charger be fitted far from the consumer unit?
Often yes, but longer cable routes and access requirements affect design, time and cost.
Should I choose a charger before speaking to an electrician?
It is sensible to discuss the electrical installation first, especially if the consumer unit, supply or cable route may need work.
