Frequently asked questions about electric vehicle charging points
Charging Points for the Property
Charging your electric vehicle should be done safely and sensibly. Choosing the right charging device for your property may feel challenging, and there are many aspects to consider when planning charging. It is worth taking a moment to consider what kind of charging needs the property has and where a suitable location for the charging point would be. After that, look for an electrical contractor familiar with EV charging equipment and work together to determine a suitable charging solution for the site.
Your electrical contractor will carry out the required licensed electrical installation work and ensure that the device is compatible with your property's electrical system.
Electricity Connection Capacity
When planning your charging point, you may need your electricity consumption data. You can conveniently access this information through Helen Electricity Network’s online service. If you and your electrical contractor determine that your current electrical connection does not provide sufficient capacity for the charging point, you may need a larger electricity connection.
Increasing the connection capacity is easy by ordering a change to the main fuse of the connection. Your electrical contractor can help you identify the options that meet your needs.
