How Does EV Charger Replacement Work?

Our EV charger replacement process is straightforward and ensures a transition to a new unit:

Assessment: We begin by conducting a detailed evaluation of your current setup, including the condition of wiring and the existing charger's capacity. This helps in identifying any upgrades needed for compatibility.
Recommendation: Taking into account your electric vehicle's specifications, driving habits and charging preferences, we propose suitable replacement units. Options could range from a 7 kW home charger to a 22 kW three-phase unit for faster charging times, depending on your grid connection.
Installation: Our certified electricians, trained to work with both AC and DC fast chargers, handle the installation. We ensure the new charger is installed in compliance with the latest IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation standards.
Testing: A thorough test includes verifying the charger's compatibility with your EV, checking load management systems, and confirming proper grounding and earthing. We also ensure the unit works with smart home systems, where applicable.
