EV Charger Installer Brighton

Here at Oval Electrical we understand that taking the first steps towards finding a trusted EV Charger Installer can feel a little overwhelming, that’s why we’re here to shed some light on the process and what to look for when choosing an EV charger installer Brighton.

Can I have an EV Charger Installed in my Brighton Home?

Across Brighton and the UK, many people aren’t aware of the general requirements for EV Charger Installation in the home. Whilst planning permission isn’t generally required for installation, it’s important to note that only homes with off street parking, a garage or driveway can consider installing an EV charging point.

This is due to the fact that it would be unsafe to have a charging cord trailing across the pavement to charge the car. Sadly, installation on a public street or road isn’t possible.

It’s worth considering that if you live in a listed building or in a conservation area, you may have to receive planning permission first.

For most Brighton EV drivers, the charger that is installed is a 7KW charger - this is due to the fact that most homes don’t have the 3 phase power which faster chargers require.

Can I install an EV Charger myself?

It is absolutely not recommended to try and install an EV Charger yourself. This is work that requires knowledge and experience from a trusted EV Charger Installer.

EV Charger Installation is high voltage work that is by no means safe to be done by someone unqualified. There are safety regulations that need to be followed (Part P) and certification given at the end of installation to verify the safety of the charger. EV Charger Installations that have been DIY’d without being signed off by an electrician will not comply with insurance either.
