Q 3. Deciding Where to Install Your Charging Point

The next step is deciding where to install your EV charging point. Typically, an installer from your chosen supplier will visit your home to assess safe and accessible locations for the installation.

When choosing the ideal spot, here are a few important factors to keep in mind:

• The position and direction of your parked car.
• The location of your car’s charging port (e.g., front, side, or rear).
• The length of your charging cable or the tethered cable provided with your chosen charging point.
• The strength of your home’s WiFi signal at the potential installation points, as most charging points require internet connectivity for smart features.
• The visual impact of the installation, ensuring it complements the aesthetics of your home’s exterior.

Taking these considerations into account will help you choose a practical and discreet location for your charger.
