EV chargers

• Circitas can install supply circuits for EV chargers of your choice when they are fitted on your own property.
• I provide what you need, located in the most convenient spot to charge your vehicle. 
• I have worked with and fitted Podpoint Solo 3, Myenergi ZappiV2.1, Ohme Home Pro and Hypervolt. 
• Electric vehicle chargers have a special set of regulations in BS7671 which relate to supply safety and earthing. This makes installations straightforward today, but your supplier must apply the relevant regulations. 
• EV charger regulation is covered by the entirety of BS7671, and specifically section 722 of our regulations. The charger must meet requirements of "The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021".
• Important note: I will not fit the actual physical EV charger to the protected and fully tested and certified cable installation I provide for you. This final fix of the charger body must be done by Others. This anomaly has occurred because algorithmic changes to requirements in October 2026 have directly pushed many small installers such as Circitas out of the EV charger business.
  I am most use to you if your chosen primary EV charger installer is unable or unwilling to make the necessary important upgrades to safety and cabling, and need more agile small business such as Circitas to provide this to enable their own rapid  turn-round. 

The items I consider before installing your EV charger circuit

• The suitability of your existing electrical supply: You may need to apply for a supply upgrade to cope with the additional demand.
• The general safety, bonding, earthing.
• The suitability of your household consumer unit: There need to be available spare "slots" (with airspace round the breakers), and there needs to be surge protection. I shall also be looking for a fireproof (steel) consumer unit. Potentially we may need to upgrade or add an additional consumer unit. 
• Will the EV charger be located and used indoors or is it intended to be used outdoors.
• Where do you want to site the EV charger, cable routes and cable lengths.
• Is there wifi or network data coverage in the intended location to operate the smart capability of the charger? Some brands require wifi, others require only network data. 
• It will always be necessary to apply to Energy Networks Association ENA for permission to connect your charger. I do this with an application to your DNO (Farnham area this is SSEN), to evaluate the supply into your property. DNO will sometimes need to make a site visit (no charge). This is to ensure the additional loading added can be handled safely by the network and by your house supply cable.
