Are you considering switching to an electric vehicle? It’s a great move—cleaner, cheaper to run, and better for the environment. But before you place that order, there’s one important thing to plan: your home charger. At All Point Electrical, we provide professional EV charger installation in Scarborough, helping homeowners prepare for a smooth transition to electric driving. Here are five key things to consider before you commit to your new EV.
1. Where Will You Park and Charge?
The first step is choosing the best spot for your charger. Most home chargers are wall-mounted in a driveway or garage. You’ll need easy access to your vehicle without having to stretch cables across walkways or public paths.
If you don’t have off-street parking, public chargers may be your only option—but we’re happy to discuss any creative solutions for more challenging setups.
2. Do You Have the Right Electrical Supply?
Not all homes are immediately ready for EV charging. You’ll need a dedicated circuit from your fuse board (consumer unit) to handle the charger’s power requirements. In some cases, your existing fuse board might need an upgrade to support the additional load safely.
As part of our EV charger installation in Scarborough, we’ll conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current setup and implement any necessary upgrades.
3. What Type of Charger Do You Need?
There are various charger types, and your choice depends on your vehicle, driving habits, and budget. Most homeowners opt for a 7kW charger, which strikes a balance between charging speed and cost. Some chargers come with smart features, like scheduling and energy tracking via an app.
We’ll help you choose a charger that suits your needs now and in the future, especially if you’re planning more than one EV in the household.
4. Can You Future-Proof Your Setup?
Even if you’re not getting an EV right away, planning can save time and money. If you’re building an extension or upgrading your electrics, we can install the necessary cabling and infrastructure now, so you’re EV-ready when the time comes.
Future-proofing your home is also a great way to increase its value and appeal to buyers.
5. Who Will Install It?
Always use a qualified and experienced electrician for your EV charger. Improper installations can be hazardous and may not comply with UK safety regulations. At All Point Electrical, we’re fully trained in EV systems and carry out every install to the highest safety standards.
We’ll guide you through the process, complete the paperwork, and ensure your charger is up and running smoothly, usually within just a few hours.
