Looking for some tips on installing charge points for electric cars

[scottishlad]

I am looking to start installing charge points at domestic dwellings. Was just wondering if yous could give me a bit more info on these as regards to regs etc.

Section 722 deals with EV charging installations

Is there anything i should be looking at when installing these? is it really as simple as it seems?

Have you done the C&G 2919 electic vehicle charging course or equivalent or had a look at the IET approved code of practise. Not really that simple tbh

A special course in how to install a socket! Well that sounds like a wonderful money spinner for someone.

Because it's a good place to get help with questions I have, and learn new things. And a chance to pass on some knowledge to the trainees on here.

Helpful reply from Lee there. There are more regulations on vehicle charging sockets compared to 'normal' socket outlets. Daz

Just trying to help the op out
Not really a standard socket install tbh so not a particularly useful reply as there are quite a few design implications to take account of plus notification to the DNO
