Below is out EV charging installation process:

Initial Consultation & Site Survey

A qualified EV charger installer from DJB first assesses your property and electrical capacity. They also identify the most suitable location for the charger. Next, they check fuse board compatibility. Finally, they determine if any upgrades are needed to support a safe and efficient installation.

Choosing the Right EV Charger

Next, you select a tethered or untethered charger. You also choose the right power output—3.6kW, 7kW, or 22kW—based on your needs. Additionally, there is a discussion about smart charging features. You will also learn about available government grants, such as the OZEV grant, which can reduce installation costs by up to £350.

Electrical & Safety Checks

At this stage, the installer ensures that your existing electrical system can support the new EV charger. If necessary, this may involve a fuse board upgrade or the installation of a Residual Current Breaker (RCB) to meet current safety standards and protect against electrical faults.

Installing the Charger

Once everything is ready, the charger is mounted on an external wall or inside a garage, positioned close to your parking space for easy access. After that, wiring is run from the fuse board to the charger, ensuring a safe, secure, and fully compliant electrical connection.

System Testing & Commissioning

Following installation, the charger is thoroughly tested for safety, efficiency, and connectivity—especially if smart features are included. Then, the installer assists with the setup of mobile apps, enabling you to monitor charging status, schedule sessions, and manage energy usage with ease.

Handover & User Guidance

Finally, the installer explains how to properly use and maintain your EV charger to ensure long-term performance. Additionally, they provide warranty details and outline ongoing support options, giving you peace of mind and reliable service after installation.

Installation Timeframe

The installation is typically completed within 2 to 4 hours; however, more complex setups may require additional time to ensure everything is installed safely and correctly.
