Can I Install My Own EV Charging Point?

Everything You Need to Know

Electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular, and that means more charging points being installed in homes over the UK. Can you install one yourself though? While there are no laws stopping you from taking the DIY approach, here’s why it’s always better to leave EV charging point installation to our expert team.

The Cost Factor

While you may save money on installation fees by doing it yourself, you could end up spending more in the long run. Why? Well, no one attempting to complete the job themselves is going to have the expertise and experience of a professional electrician. This can lead to charging inefficiencies or even damage to your electrical system. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures the job is done right the first time, minimising the risk of costly repairs or replacements further down the line.

Voiding Warranties

Another important factor to consider is the warranty on your EV charging point. Many manufacturers offer a three-year warranty on their chargers, but this warranty often depends on it being installed by a certified electrician. Attempting a DIY installation could void this warranty, leaving you liable for any future malfunctions or defects – and seriously out of pocket!

Safety Concerns

Safety should always be a top priority when working with electricity, and DIY installations pose a higher risk of injury, or electrical accidents compared to the work carried out by a professional. Our electricians have undergone rigorous training to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to safely handle these installations. By choosing us, you can rest assured that your EV charging point will be installed safely.

Regulations and Permissions

Depending on things like your property being listed or if you are going to be installing your charger in a communal area, there may be certain rules that need to be worked around. We are familiar with these requirements and can ensure that your installation complies with all necessary regulations. Doing it yourself could see you having to remove the charging point.
