Standard Installation

Every property is different. However, we have developed a standard installation package that covers over 80% of the EV charger installations we complete.

A standard installation typically includes:

• Installation of the EV charger onto a suitable permanent structure, such as a brick or plastered wall.
• Up to 10 metres of cabling to connect the charger to the consumer unit or electricity meter.
• Cable routing through existing building voids where possible, or clipped neatly to the wall using the shortest practical route.
• Up to 6 metres of surface-mounted trunking (white PVC).
• Installation of all required protective devices to ensure compliance with current regulations.
• Full electrical testing to confirm safe operation.
• Provision of all relevant certification and compliance documentation.

If your installation falls within these parameters, no additional charges will apply beyond the agreed quotation.

Non-Standard or Custom Installations

Where additional work is required beyond the standard specification, the installation will be classed as non-standard or custom.

This may be necessary if:

• Additional cabling is required
• Cables need to be routed underground
• The existing electrical installation requires upgrading

In such cases, we will provide a clear and transparent quotation outlining any additional materials or labour required. Once approved, we will schedule the installation accordingly.

Examples of Additional Works

Additional works and materials may include:

Surge Protection Device (SPD)

An SPD protects both your property and your vehicle from damage caused by electrical power surges.

Consumer Unit or RCD Upgrades

If your existing consumer unit contains a Type AC RCD, this must be upgraded to a Type A RCD in line with current IET Wiring Regulations to provide protection against DC leakage.

Groundworks

Where cables cannot be clipped to a permanent structure, they must be safely buried underground. Cables cannot be laid across open ground due to the risk of damage and trip hazards.

Additional Cabling

Cable runs exceeding 15 metres will incur additional charges. Please note that cable measurement includes vertical and horizontal routing — not simply the straight-line distance between the power supply and charger.

Additional Trunking and Accessories

More than 6 metres of trunking or installations requiring more than four directional bends may incur additional costs.

Additional Labour

Complex cable routes may require extended installation time or multiple engineers, which may result in additional labour charges.

Gas and Water Bonding

Protective bonding must be in place before an EV charger can be installed.

• Gas bonding is typically a green and yellow earth cable located near the gas meter.
• Water bonding is usually found near the internal stop tap.

Bonding ensures protection against electric shock and fire risk and is a regulatory requirement.
