You may be a DIY enthusiast, but installing home EV charge points is a job for a qualified electrical engineer. Because you’ll be dealing with the electrical grid and other power sources, it’s essential that the person carrying out the installation is experienced, fully trained and knows what they are doing. Although it’s an additional cost, it is likely to work out cost-effectively in the long run, due to you being less likely to experience any faults or issues with your system, that could become costly to fix in the future. When a home charger is installed it also needs to meet all the necessary regulations to ensure it is safe to use.
You don’t want to be responsible for giving the whole street a power cut, do you? Or damage your newly purchased charge point and EV! Plus, the warranty of your home charger could become void if it’s not installed correctly or by a certified electric engineer. Don’t risk it, get a professional OZEV approved installer (like us!) in and let them carry out the installation process.
As we said, it ensures your charge point is installed safely, correctly and in line with all the rules and regulations. At eFaraday, our engineers will also be able to help you place your charge point in the best location, based on the electrical grid and your power supply, as well as answer any of your burning charge point questions.
What needs to be installed will depend on the type of charge point you’ve chosen to get installed at your home. For instance, whether you have opted for a tethered or untethered option. However, the main item to be installed will be the charge point unit itself and if tethered, the charging cable too.
If your chosen EV home charger includes other smart features, your engineer will set these up for you too, such as connecting to your WIFI and integrating with your smart device. You can view all the home EV charge points we install here.
The home charger installation process usually takes a couple of hours, however, we advise that you are able to be at your property for the entire day in case the engineer encounters any unexpected works that might increase the duration of the installation process.
You won’t have to do much in order to prepare for your home charge point installation. Prior to the installation, one of the eFaraday team will have carried out a home survey to check your home is suitable for the EV charge point. Your engineer will therefore know what to expect and we will have previously discussed with you where you would like the charge point to be located.
Therefore, all we ask is that you:
The eFaraday team will talk you through any factors you may need to consider when organising your installation. However, the top questions to ask yourself are:
