Thinking about an electric vehicle Home charger at home? Here’s everything you need to know before, during, and after installation.
✅ What’s Required for a Safe EV Installation
Dedicated circuit – your charger needs its own supply from the fuse box.
Modern consumer unit – must have RCD/RCBO protection (may need upgrading).
Earthing arrangements – correct earthing is essential for safety.
Adequate supply capacity – I’ll check your home’s main supply can handle the load.
DNO notification – by law, your network operator must be informed (I handle this).
Smart functionality – most new chargers can connect to Wi-Fi and schedule charging.
