WHAT'S INCLUDED IN A BASIC INSTALLATION 

The nitty gritty ...

This guide explains what a 'basic installation' includes, as well as things that come in as ‘extra costs’. 

​

Our 'basic installation' package includes the following: 

​

• The fitting of your selected Chargepoint on a brick or plaster wall, or other suitable permanent structure. 

• Routing of the cable through a drilled hole in a wall up to 500mm (20 inches) thick, where needed 

• Up to 10 metres of cable, run and neatly clipped to the wall between the distribution board and the Chargepoint up to a height of up to 1.8m. 

• All electrical connections at the origin of the supply and Chargepoint. 

• Installation of a Type C MCB. 

• Electrical testing and the NICEIC Certification. 

• Demonstration of the Chargepoint functions and App (if applicable) 

What can increase the cost of your EV charge point installation? 

​

There are a number of factors, but here are a few examples that can increase the cost of your installation: 

• Earth rod - some charge points and properties require an earth to be installed. 

• EV Consumer Unit - some charge points and properties require this to be installed where an earth rod isn't possible. 

• Extra cabling - if more cabling over the 10 metres already included is needed then this will cost extra. 

• Type A RCBO - this is a protective device required for some installations to protect against current overload, AC and DC leakage. 

• Dedicated two-way distribution board - this may be required if your present fuse-box does not have any suitable spare "ways". 

• Extra labour - for more complex installations or for jobs that will simply take longer (above the normal hours included).
