The Installation Process

Before proceeding with your electric car charger installation, we conduct a thorough evaluation of your property's electrical capacity. This includes examining your consumer unit (fuse box), assessing available load capacity, and checking existing wiring condition. This crucial step determines whether your current setup can support an EV charging point or if upgrades are necessary.

Selecting the Optimal Charger

Based on your specific requirements, we'll recommend appropriate charging solutions. Considerations include:

Your vehicle's charging capabilities
Typical daily mileage requirements
Budget constraints
Desired charging speed (7kW, 22kW, etc.)
Smart charging features for cost optimisation
Tethered vs. untethered options

The ideal location for your EV charging point installation balances several factors:

Proximity to your regular parking position
Distance from the consumer unit (shorter cable runs reduce costs)
Weather protection considerations
Cable management to prevent tripping hazards
Aesthetic impact on your property

The EV charging unit is securely mounted following manufacturer specifications and connected to the newly installed circuit. All electrical connections are made to the highest standards, with particular attention to weatherproofing for external installations.

FAQs

Can I install an EV charger myself?

While DIY installation is technically possible, we strongly advise against it. EV charger installation requires extensive electrical knowledge and must comply with UK electrical regulations. At Luxlectrics Electrical Services, we ensure safe, compliant installations that protect both your property and your EV investment.

What electrical requirements are needed for an EV charger?

Most home EV chargers require a dedicated 32A or 40A circuit and a modern consumer unit with adequate capacity. For optimal charging speeds, we recommend a 7kW charger which typically requires a 32A supply. Our initial assessment will determine if your property's electrical infrastructure can support this and whether any upgrades are necessary.

Are there any grants available for EV charger installation?

Yes, several grants are available in the UK. The OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) grant offers up to £350 off installation costs for eligible vehicles and chargers. Local authorities may offer additional incentives. We can guide you through the application process and ensure your installation meets all grant requirements.

How long does an EV charger installation take?

A standard installation typically takes 4-6 hours. However, this can vary depending on factors such as cable routing requirements, consumer unit location, and whether any electrical upgrades are needed. We'll provide a precise timeframe after our initial site survey.

What types of EV chargers do you install?

We install all major brands of EV chargers including Pod Point, Zappi, EO, and Tesla Wall Connectors. We specialise in both tethered and untethered units, with options ranging from 3.6kW to 22kW charging capabilities. Our team will help you select the most suitable charger based on your vehicle, usage patterns, and electrical supply.
