EV HOME CHARGER INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
With the UK government's decision to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, many homeowners are considering the transition to electric vehicles and installing EV home chargers. Before proceeding, it's important to determine if your property is suitable for such an installation. Here’s a checklist to help you assess if an EV home charger is right for your home:
PARKING ACCESSIBILITY
-
Do you have a dedicated parking space or driveway adjacent to your property?
-
Is your parking space privately owned and not on public or shared roads?
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAPACITY

Is your current electrical system up-to-date and capable of supporting additional load?
-
Have you checked that your home's consumer unit "fuse board" has sufficient capacity for adding a charger?
PROFESSIONAL ASSESSMENT

Have you consulted with a professional electrician who is certified in EV charger installation to assess your specific situation? If not, W.Jones Electrical Vehicles is here to guide you.
