Our engineers will arrive with comprehensive details and photos of the planned installation. Nevertheless, they will conduct their own assessments and engage in discussions about the proposed setup with you. In some instances, our engineers may devise an improved cable route, and they will seek your approval before commencing the work.
Afterwards, the task involves securely fitting the car charge point to the wall and connecting it to the power source. Once this phase is finished, the engineer will proceed with the initial setup and commissioning of the EV charger. This usually includes “pairing” it with your smartphone, although the setup processes may vary depending on the specific product.
Prior to departure, our engineer will conduct a thorough review of the installation and ensure your satisfaction with the work. They will also perform a few final checks and may take photographs during the process. This is done to enable our office team to verify that the installation has been completed accurately and to the highest standard.
The cost of an EV charge point installation depends on the charger you choose and the complexity of the installation. Our website shows the minimum cost of an installation inclusive of the charger.
