Help please! I need a Tesla Gen 2 EV charger fitted in my garage which is 22m from the consumer unit. My electrician is proposing to route a 6mm cable through pre-existing plastic conduit which has a cable in already and through a void in concrete walls to a sub-consumer unit at the charge...
Their salary in London is around 44,000 salary and they do 4 meter installs.
The EV installers in london they do 2 a day and they get salary of 34,000 but they do whole cable run , drill whole and db and testing.
It’s seems like the EV installers do way more work the meter installers.
I just...
A question perhaps for @Gavin John Hyde or others:
I have a potential customer who is looking for an EV charge point installed at his property to charge a company vehicle.
He needs to be able to generate usage reports for his employer to be able to claim back the cost of charging the EV.
Any...
Hi all,
New ill ( not used yet) of 7.5kw EV charge point.
New house consumer unit fitted 6months ago and fitted with 16mm tails as the main fuse was 80amp.
Electric company then come to visit to see if the...
Just taken deilvery of an Electric Car (Mini Electric) and so doing some research into installing a charge point.
Supply is a standard Single Phase and I have appointments booked with my supplier and DNO to upgrade meter tails and cutout fuse respectively.
I'll get a spark to do all the...
So I am a fully qualified spark with my own company, however I also have a few properties I rent out. One of my tenants asked if they can have an EV charge point put on the house paid for by his company, being the good landlord I said of course no problem just let me know when they are there so...
Hi all, just a quick question, does anybody out there know if there is an editable version of the ENA form below.
EVCP & HP Connections Form v3.4
Or is it a case of fill in by hand and scan?
Thanks.
Afternoon all, and apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but a search didn't bring anything up.
Just a quick heads up to anyone installing EV charge points (or other "non-standard" energy technologies);
I was confirming PL/PI cover with my insurer today (AXA) for evidence needed by my...
Looking for some candid advice.
Covid has left my industry in tatters, I'm an Airline pilot. I still have a job, just, but for how much longer? I'm keen to get ahead of being skint and jobless and retrain/refresh my knowledge etc.
Before pilot, I spent some time fitting kitchens and...
Hi All, looking for some setup advise around a new EV charger installation at a Domestic Property.
The customer has a single phase 100a supply into their main consumer unit. This then feeds a 2 bed flat electrically via a number of RCBO and MCB protected circuits. It also has a 50a Type B MCB...
This may have been asked before but what is the best all round MFT that also does EV charge point testing?
I am looking at the Megger 1741+ but also believe the Metrel testers are also good?
Hi all,
I am currently tidying up our front garden and want to bury some underground conduit to provide a cable route for an ev charge point sometime in the future (don't fancy digging up the lawn and path again).
My electrician has suggested 6mm swa cable should allow for a decent powered...
Hi all. Just a quickly. I've had a charge point fitted and was told my bonding is small to gas and no existing to water. The engineer made a call to his office and informed me that the install can still go ahead but the charge point will be set to out of service until I send photos of the...
I'm considering a career change or trying to implement a 50/50 split between my current work in IT - largely working in a technical capacity as a 3rd line support analyst and re-training to get into the green sector and do part-time work (or potentially a full career change) either fitting PV...
I am looking at section 722 of 18th edition for EV charge points. Section 722.411.4 imposes restrictions on the earthing arrangements for TN systems. For an external chargepoint connected to a domestic PME supply the accepted solution to avoiding the restrictions of 722.411.4.1 seems to be to...
Hi guys,
Does anybody have experience of installing EV charge points on lampposts- I am unsure how often the lampposts' earth can be used especially if TN-C-S and how the 18th edition might indeed rule this out. If the earth cannot be used is it a realistic solution to install just one copper...
