EV charging advice and capacity planning — EV charging-point installer
Use this service when you are unsure how many chargers, which type or what infrastructure is appropriate. Provide vehicle use and parking patterns together with any supply information, and explain whether you need a feasibility opinion, a specification or a design suitable for procurement.
Service scope
Pre-installation advice on the charging arrangement appropriate to a property's users, vehicle needs, parking duration and electrical constraints. The deliverable may compare options and identify further surveys; it is not automatically a final electrical design, utility approval or equipment order.
What is normally included
- Charging-use assessment
- Comparison of feasible charging options
- Defined planning report or design brief
What is not included
- Guaranteed charging speed or energy savings
- Unstated detailed design and connection applications
Typical tasks
- Establish daily charging requirements
- Review parking and dwell-time patterns
- Identify supply and site constraints
- Compare equipment and management options
- Produce the agreed recommendations and next steps
What to include in your brief
- Vehicle usage and energy needs
- Parking duration
- Site plan
- Existing supply information
- Required report or design deliverable
Choosing the right professional
Ask what evidence the adviser will use and what the output can legitimately support. Compare an initial remote opinion with an on-site capacity assessment or formal design, and make sure assumptions and unresolved network dependencies are visible.
Important considerations
- Incomplete usage data can lead to over- or under-specification
- A planning recommendation may need further verification before installation
