With EV Chargers becoming more common in domestic jobs I was wondering if anyone could help me out a little, I’ve not got much experience in the installation of them. Just got a few questions on them,
1 do all chargers need a cat 6 and ct clamp??
2 do you need to fit a separate consumer unit...
I'll start with the problem.
I've installed two Hive Mini Pro 3 EV chargers, and both have had the same fault, which I think I've now isolated to the CT Cable (Not the clamp or its direction).
Essentially if I connect the CT Cable to the EV Charger and enable smart charging, the EV Charger...
Yes guys just a quick one. A friend of mine wants me to connect up an old Tesla charger by installing a commando socket and then a commando plug from the Tesla charger to the socket. Now do I need a pen fault system as it’s not a tt system ? Cheers guys
This is a baffling fault I've been fighting with for a couple of weeks now, so I wondered if another set of eyes will help.
I installed an EV Charger a few weeks back, and all went well for a while, then the client called me to say it wasn't charging randomly. Resetting it brought it back to...

Aim is to install 32amp commando socket in my shed to plug in portable Tesla EV charger and future prove it so proper home...

Hello,
What’s the best method to install a an ev charger on slanted weatherboarding.
Also are there weatherproof top covers for outdoor chargers.
Many thanks
Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a 40-amp EV charger, but I'm stuck on whether to go with a portable one or a wall-mounted one. Does anyone have experience with both? What are the true pros and cons of each? Thanks!
Here are the two models I’m considering.
Hi, I’m just looking for some advice on what can be done. I wouldn’t be touching any of it myself! We are trying to be unlooped and have a fuse upgrade as we have two electric car chargers but northern power grid is now unwilling to do the work due to our meter box being congested! Would we just...

Can the wiring go from the fuse box to a certain distance in the roof space, then exit the roof space via the eaves, then travel in conduit along the outside wall, to an EV charger?
Or does the wiring need to go from roof space to wall cavity?
It's an odd arrangement, and traveling outside will...
I note that in answer to another EV Charger question a member suggested a 40A breaker would be preferred to a 32A because of many hours at continuous full 7kW load. I am not an electrician but understand the reasoning.
I have a 7kW charger (which generally runs full load for a continuous 5 hours...
I have a client who wants an EV charger installed, charger TBC, but about 7KW, installed about 20m away from this installation.
I've not done one before, but I understand I need to split the tails and main earth and add blocks so I can add an EV CU.
CU is in a cupboard and the tails and earth...
Hi all,
Merry Christmas to everyone, and apologies for talking work during the holidays😅
I have my first EV charger install job early in the New Year, and I might be able to enjoy the holidays a bit better if I could ask your advice please.
I'm going to install a 7kw Zappi charger with built...
I would like to hide the cable to an EV charger. The consumer unit, meter cabinet and charger would all be on the same wall. About 5 metres from the charger to the meter box or 6m to the CU. It's an external wall without insulation. Would 6mm NYYJ in the wall cavity be acceptable? It would be...
I may have posted this before but not sure if it made it in.
