What do you need to have an EV charger installed at home?

Having an EV charger installer fit an EV charger at your Brynmawr home makes sense for many reasons. A home EV charger installation is much faster than charging your car with a three-pin plug in a plug socket and allows you to charge your electric car overnight, so there’s no need to dash out and find a public charging point in the morning. So, what do you need to have an EV charger installed at home?

You’ll need:

An off-street parking area, like a drive or garage.
Your landlords written permission if you live in a rental property. If you are not the homeowner, then we will need to know they have agreed before we can install your EV charger.
Wi-Fi connection. Most smart EV chargers require internet access and so the location you choose must be in range of your Wi-Fi.
Clear space to plug in your EV car. If the bins and the kids bikes normally live on your drive you are going to need to find a new home for them!
