The price we advertise for installing your EV Charger is based on what we call A Standard Installation.
We do this because we have not seen your property or electrical set up so have priced from a typical installation and the information below.
Assumptions
This is what we have assumed is in place at your property and allows for a Standard Install to take place.If anything is different, we will identify this when we do a survey and advise you if there will be any increase to your install price:
- Your existing electrical installation is up to the current BS7671 standards for electrical installations and does not require any upgrading work, ie. all bonding is in place and the meter tails are suitable, etc.
- Your electricity meter and service cutout are located next to your consumer unit with adequate working space around them.
- Your installation has a 100A main incoming fuse.
- Your consumer unit is a metal mainstream make (Wylex etc.) board with a spare non RCD way for which a 2 pole (Single Module) RCBO could be fitted and there is already an SPD (Surge Protection Device) fitted or.
- Your consumer unit is a metal mainstream make (Wylex, Contactum, Hager etc.) board with a spare RCD protected way (RCD must be a Type A) and there is already an SPD (Surge Protection Device) fitted.
- Your Wi-Fi network has a sufficiently strong enough signal to enable a good connection to the Hypervolt unit at your chosen position of fitment.

The following is a list of the work included in a Standard Install. Any work over and above this will be confirmed when we do a survey and we will advise you if there will be any increase to your install price:
