Can I install my own EV charging point at home

If you are wondering whether you can install a charging point for your electric vehicle, the answer is an emphatic NO. Installing EV charging points can be a complicated procedure, and unless you are a licensed and trained electrician, you should not do it yourself. It is always better to hire a certified installer that knows what they are doing. Hiring an expert may seem expensive to you at present. However, in the long run, it will be beneficial. A professional installer would be able to install the home charging point for your electric cars in a safe manner that complies with safety regulations.

Who can legally install electric vehicle charging points?

Only qualified and certified electricians can safely install charging points for electric vehicles. They have the knowledge as well as the expertise to install in ways that comply with the local laws of the land related to their installation.

It is essential to hire an electrician or a company that has a good amount of experience. It will give you the confidence that they are competent at their work and can professionally install the EV charging points at your property.

4 important points to consider when having an EV charger installed

When getting an EV charger installed at your home, there are several things that one should consider. Below are four of the most important ones.

1. The cost of installing an EV charger

Cost is a significant factor that you need to consider. It is evident that investing in a reliable and experienced installer is a wise decision. This investment ensures the safety and regulatory compliance not only for yourself but also for your car, home, and the people around you. The home charger for EV itself is pretty expensive.

Then, there are the cables and installation costs to factor in too. If you do want to cut costs, there are some cheaper options available for EV chargers. However, it is never advised to skip professional installation as it can lead to more expenses later on. It can also be a safety hazard.

2. Safe installation of an EV charging point is of paramount importance

It is absolutely crucial that your EV charging point is installed, keeping safety a priority. That is why it is essential only to get certified technicians to install them. They know all about your home’s wiring as well as the technical specifications of your EV charger. If the EV charger is not installed correctly, you and your family members can be at risk of getting electrocuted. Bad wiring can also lead to a fire breaking out.

3. Ensure that your electric car charging point is certified and compliant

When you are getting your charger installed, make sure that the technician certifies the EV charger. You must also ensure that all the work done during the installation process is of the highest standards. Another vital thing to consider is that the installation should be in compliance with national regulations and laws.

When you hire an expert and experienced electrician or company to handle your EV vehicle charger installation, you can rest assured knowing that they will take care of all of these above-mentioned points. With that knowledge, you can charge your electric car at home with peace of mind.

4. Choose a reliable and trusted specialist to install my charging point

Hiring someone who is an expert in their field and someone you can rely on is always beneficial in life, irrespective of anything you are doing. The same is the case with installing your EV charging point. When you approach a professional EV charging point installation company, they can provide you with their expert guidance, knowledge and experience.

Since they work directly with suppliers, you can also get some good deals from them. Lastly, they will provide you with accurate quotes for the installation and stand by those prices. So, the next time you need an EV vehicle charger installed, hire only the experts.

I contacted EV Solutions to have a charger fitted at my home, Brendon provided all the information I needed and quickly... came back with options and quotes, even bringing a couple types to my home for me to see and make my mind up over. Eventually went for the EO Mini Pro 2, and a fitting date was arranged. EV Solutions turned up at the right time and fitted the unit. The finished job is extremely neat, and it works as it should. Great service from this local company. Recommended.read more
