Prepare for home charging
2 min read
QUICK ANSWER
Read the vehicle and charger manuals first. Clarify permission to use the parking space and any building approvals.
What to know
Have a qualified electrician assess the supply. Circuits, earthing and protection must suit local requirements and the equipment.
Planning and usage
Estimate daily energy as daily kilometres × consumption / 100. A full charge may not be necessary every day.
Final checks
Consider installation, service and electricity separately. Do not assume a socket or extension cable is suitable for vehicle charging.
General information. Follow your vehicle and equipment manufacturer instructions.
