FAQ'S
​
How Long Does It Take To Get An EV Charger Installed?
Installing an EV charger typically takes about 4 hours. However, the time can vary depending on where the charger is being installed. For example, installing a single home charger will take less time than installing multiple chargers for commercial use.​
​
​
Is it worth buying a home EV charger?
Yes, a home EV charger is the most convenient way to charge your electric vehicle. You won’t have to wait at public charging points or stand in long queues. With a home charger, you can charge your car whenever it’s best for you, with no hassle or stress.​​
​
​
Does an EV charger need its own RCD?
Yes, an EV charger must be covered by an RCD. The most important thing is that the RCD must be a Type A RCD because of the DC nature of the charger. This ensures proper protection against electric shocks or fires caused by faults or damage.
​
​​
Can I plug my EV into a normal socket?
You can charge your EV using a regular socket, but it's slower. A dedicated charger provides around 7kW of power, while a regular socket only gives up to 2.3kW.
​
​
Do I need to rewire my house for EV charger?
Rewiring is usually not needed unless your electrical system is outdated or unable to handle the extra load. Our certified electricians at Ideal Electrical Solutions can assess your current setup and advise you on what's required for a safe and efficient EV charger installation.​​
​
​
Do I need a permit to install EV charger UK?
Typically, you don't need planning permission for an EV charger installation unless you live in a listed building or are located in a conservation area. If you have off-street parking, you can't have a dedicated electric vehicle charger installation unless you have a ChargeArm, which requires local council permission.​​​
​​
Do I need to tell my DNO about EV charger?
Yes, you must inform your DNO before installing an EV charger. Charging your car uses more electricity, which can affect the local network.​​
EV Charge Point Installation
Having an EV charger at home makes charging your electric vehicle faster and easier. You can charge overnight and avoid busy public stations, ensuring you're always ready to go.
​
For safe and proper installation, it's important to hire a qualified, approved installer. The UK government also offers grants to help with installation costs.
