I’ve got a job coming up where the customer wants an EVSE fitted in their rear communal parking area 50m from the house.
As such there are a few unusual requirements.
LAN/Ethernet connection is a must. I don’t want to be relying on Wi-Fi at that distance.
Customer ideally wants untethered...
Just wondering what folks think about in terms of 13A sockets with built-in USB charges, what are the good/bad/ugly of choices?
I could do with one for my parent's use (to avoid them losing a plug-in charger) but ideally would like one that goes off / isolated when not in use or if the related...
Qualified electrician has installed Zappi car charger outside house. Grid incoming goes to DNO cutout then to SPD then to meter then to henley block then to RCCB then to SWA cable out wall and to charger mounted on outside wall (about 4m length SWA). I just learnt that RCCB gives no overcurrent...
Currently, I have a side garage port (with a garage door, but open on the garden side) supplied by a 2.5mm2 radial circuit. The plan is to convert the port to a proper garage next year.
As the bedrooms are currently under refurbishment and the floorboards easily accessible, I would like to make...
Hello guys.
I need to install a Tesla charger 3 gen for Tesla Y. My Client has 1 phase installation. I will install CU with SPD and PME fault detector. Could you please tell me what size of cable I should use for this charger point?
Thanks for any advice.
We have an unusual situation being a British-run ski lodge near Chamonix, France. The chalet is a 1930's, 20-bedroom facility run for around 200 private members that include a growing number of EV owners.
We would like to get three 7 or 22kw EV charging points installed in the car park but...
Hi Everyone, before I start ill admit I have very little knowledge of EV chargers etc, I have had a question from a customer who has had a 7kw zappi installed and his wife has just bought an audi a3 tfsi e. This apparently will only charge at a max rate of 2.9kw as its a hybrid, hes concerned...
I have a single 7kW EV charger that serves three holiday cottage. The supply to it is E7, with the night rate currently at exactly half the day rate, so most users charge at night, controlling the charge from apps. on their 'phones.
Batteries are getting bigger, so it's becoming difficult to get...
Has anyone installed the Gen 3 Tesla EV charger. Is an RCD required at the supply as it says it has a type A one built into the unit. Also can anyone recommend a good Open pen detection device?
I'm going to start some construction projects at my own gaff soon, including sorting out some better outdoor supplies.
Currently have a 32a supply via SWA in what I think (need to check!) is 10mm which the previous installer has conveniently put a junction box join for right where I can...
I am looking to install an EV home charger for one vehicle, but possibly two in the future.
I have a second unused (but still active) mains supply cable from a time when we had electric heaters. Unfortunately the separate meter on this supply was removed a few years back. It would seem to be...
If you can install in a detached garage, then you can use the house earthing system (PME). Wishful thinking ! Can you install it inside the garage and run charging cable through the wall or can you install it on the outside wall of the garage?
Evening everybody.
A Landlord who's pub I do a bit of work in called me today to discuss putting an EV Charger in for customer use.
His idea was to charge £x for 60mins. I vaguely remember that Rolec had a token operated EV Charger but I'm not sure if they still make it. A fair bit of Google...
Hi there, new to the forum and in final stages of completing C&G level 3; need to complete design project to complete. Am struggling to get my head around how to draw up correct circuit diagram showing EF Loop path for EV charger where initial supply is described as 'three phase TNCS' feeding to...
Hi, I Bought a 32A EV Charger, it comes with a CEE wall plug. I need to use it with a 60A range recepticle which I use to plug in my welder. So obviously I need to change the CEE plug into a Range plug. There is no paperwork, no schematic. As the CEE has 3 wires Red, Black and Yellow/green...
Hi!
I’d like to install a pedestal-mounted (230 V, 30 A max - programmable) EV charger close to my driveway, which ends about 12 feet away from the house, on the other side of a landscaped rock wall of sorts. While I am at it, I would like to oversize the circuit to allow a second EV charger to...
A bit of an embarrassing question.
I have a regular customer who I enjoy working for. He has asked me to install an EV rapid charger for his avant loader (electric tractor type thing). I always turn down 3 phase jobs as I don't feel I understand it fully, but I'd like to do this job.
I believe...

Many thanks
