EV Charging point installers

[Lapierre]

I was just wondering if many folk are now involved with the installation of EV charging points?
Demand in this area is obviously increasing. I'm very keen on green energy and I'm considering specialising in this area, is anyone else doing the same?

I am certainly trying to sell them to a few clients in light commercial. And also not just for cars but bikes as well

Would you recommend taking the C&G 2919-01 EV charging installers course?

If you are planning to install charge points and for you/your customer to claim the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Grant (EVHS) or Workplace Charging Grant (WCS) than you must be authorised by OLEV before any chargepoints are installed.

Most of teh pre-requisits, and an application form, can be found here

Note that a pre-requisite is membership of one of the Electrical competent person Schemes. eg NICEIC, NAPIT, etc..

Yep, we do them, went down that route a while ago, it compliments our complete solution for self and custom builders.

I've heard it is a pretty crowded game and that fees paid for installing (if you can't generate your own leads) are low
