The location that you choose for your EV charging stations should have a solid GPRS (data) connection. Stations should be easy to access with parking possible from different directions. Station charging cables are usually 4-5 meters long—take this into consideration when planning the installation.

For wall-mounted devices, a suitable height for installation is approximately 120 cm.

A professional electrician will be able to check if the location that you have chosen for the charging station is suitable, and will also be able to determine whether or not your electricity supply is sufficient.

Having one EV charging point installed doesn’t usually require changes in the electricity system of a building.

However, if multiple stations are being installed, some changes might be necessary. In this case, a professional electrician can execute the electrical inspection and make a process plan.

Electric vehicles are increasing in popularity with every year that passes, and the trend is accelerating. The EV revolution is here and it’s exciting, but it’s also still in an early phase which means that the need for both public charging stations and home charge points will only grow in the future.

It’s important to take this growth potential into consideration when planning out your future electricity capacity needs. With the proper groundwork, cabling the number of charging stations can be easily increased later.

For instance, with Dynamic Load Management (DLM) features, you can manage the electric capacity of your EV charging stations directly from the cloud, thus avoiding congestions and costly infrastructure renewal costs to meet sudden increases in demand.

You don’t need to embark on your electric vehicle charging journey on your own. In fact, the complexity of the technology involved makes it impossible. You need to rely on industry professionals.

That includes:

Certified electricians
EV charging hardware providers
EV charging software providers
Transporters
Certified people installing the equipment.
