Domestic EV Charging Installation

Client: Domestic Customer
Project length: 1.5 Days
Completion date: January 2022
HF divisions involved: Electrical, Green Energy

Brief project description: Our qualified EV Charging Installers were hired to install a new ‘Wallbox Pulsar‘ Tethered EV Charging Point along with additional IP-rated garden sockets for a property in Glasgow. The electrical installation work required the consumer unit in the garage to be upgraded to a more modern unit. We also increased the size of the cable supplying this consumer unit to cope with the increased demand of the EV charger.

Project Challenges: The frontal area of the garage where the EV charging point was to be fitted was quite narrow.  This meant that we could only fit a certain size of EV Charging Point.  Thanks to the advances in EV Charging technology, we were able to fit a new compact charger from specialist manufacturer Wallbox to the restricted space.

Customer Quote: “I am very happy with the work carried out.  Very helpful installer and overall am impressed with the work done.“

There is a growing wave of support for electric vehicles in both the commercial and consumer sectors that is currently exceeding the electric vehicle charging network. There is a great demand for charging stations across the country that needs to be met.

The different types of EV Charger

EV charging stations are not like petrol stations with universal pumping stations. There are different branded manufacturers and levels of charging station. Wall mounted 7kW EV chargers are the most common are are seen both in business parks and residential driveways. They are compatible with the vast majority of current electric vehicles on sale (we can advise you on the specifics) and an average charge time for an electric vehicle will take between 3 to 4 hours. There are faster, more powerful charging systems and even something called ‘Rapid Chargers’. Our qualified EV Charger Installation team can advise you on the best fit for your business needs.
