    I have a nice job on in a few weeks which includes wiring up a solo chargepoint EV point. The pod doesn’t have its own RCD like Rolec do. I am rewiring the house and intended to use either a type A RCD or RCBO. As they also detect small levels of DC leakage. I use BG consumer units but I...

    Electric vehicle charging qualification

    Looking to get trained/qualified on the EV charging point installations. To those of you who have gone down this route which way did you go about it, is it worth getting training by one of the manufacturers or the training centres like nic?

    What sort of prices should I be charging?

    Hi all, I was wondering how much hourly rate I should be charging? I recently quoted a job only to be questioned if I was an electrician due to being too cheap. I’m thinking of upping my rates but want to keep at an honest and fair price.
