What Are the Requirements?
The basic requirements are quite simple if you want to have your own EV charger installed at home. You need to meet three basic criteria and the work can proceed. These criteria are:
1. You must own the property into which you want to install the EV charger, or have permission from your landlord if you rent the property. The permission needs to be given in writing.
2. Your home must have off-street parking that is not shared with any other car. No electrician or other EV charger installers will ever offer you installation on the street or in a location that infringes even a little on the parking of another vehicle belonging to another property.
3. You must have a Wi-Fi connection at home. Not all home EV chargers use Wi-Fi connections, but having a Wi-Fi connection at home is still a requirement before anyone will come to confirm the installation of your electric vehicle home charger.
There is one more requirement, too, which is that you need to purchase your EV home charger, which you can either buy yourself on Amazon or a similar shopping site, or directly from a provider that will also deal in installation. These comprehensive services typically cost more, but there’s definitely a greater convenience factor.
If you can meet these requirements, then all you need to do is contact either your energy supplier or a company that specialises in EV charger home installation such as Pod Point, ChargedEV, and others. These companies and their EV charger installers bring with them the expertise, equipment and authority to install home chargers safely and in accordance with safety rules and regulations.
