The majority of your EV charger installation will be taken care of by a professional. However, there’s a few things you can do ahead of time to ensure the process is as seamless as possible.
Have Your WiFi Details At The Ready
As most EV chargers need to connect to WiFi to function, being prepared with your details ahead of your installation is key. Specifically, you will need to get hold of the network name and password. As valuable time can be wasted hunting for your WiFi details, being prepared can help speed things along.
Comply With Regulations & Laws
Unless you are fortunate enough to have off-street parking, you will need to get a permit for an EV charger. Therefore, you must obtain legal consent prior to your installation if you live in a flat or use a shared parking space. If you are a tenant, you will also need to gain permission from your landlord.
Ensure The Designated Area Is Clear
Clear the area where your EV charger will be fitted prior to the day of the installation. This will ensure the site is prepped and ready in good time, and ensure the project can get safely underway. As it may take longer than expected to clear the area or dispose of unwanted items, it’s sensible to begin clearance at least a week before your EV charger installation date. If you do not clear the space beforehand, your installer may have to reschedule the appointment.
Double Check Your Site Before The EV Charger Installation
Before your EV charger is installed, double check that your car fits adequately in the desired space. You should also ensure that you can open all the doors fully. Moreover, if you’ve opted for a tethered charger, make sure that the cable will sufficiently reach your vehicle from the installation point. Carrying out these quick checks ahead of the installation could avoid some nasty surprises down the line.
