EV Charging Installation: Main Switch, Consumer Unit & Zappi Car Charger

At Kingsnorth Electrical, we specialise in providing first-rate electrical installations to meet your growing energy needs. Recently, we've seen an increasing demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions and we're excited to offer a complete, professional EV charger installation service. Here's an overview of what we do:

Step 1: Installing a New Main Switch & EV Consumer Unit

The first step in our EV charger installation process is the setup of a new main switch in your meter cupboard. This ensures that you have one point of isolation. Additionally, we install an EV consumer unit, complete with surge protection and all necessary circuit protection. This keeps your EV charging system safe from potential electrical surges and ensures everything runs smoothly.

Step 2: New Meter Tails and Connection

To enhance the efficiency and safety of your electrical system, we install new meter tails and connect them securely. This upgrade is crucial in providing a strong and reliable flow of power to your home and, by extension, your EV charging system.

Step 3: Installing the EV Supply Cable

Next, we install a durable EV supply cable, which is attached to the wall and path plinth to ensure neatness and security. This cable serves as the connection point between the consumer unit and the EV charger, ensuring that your vehicle has a reliable power source.

Step 4: Installing the Zappi Car Charger

For this installation, we use a non-tethered Zappi car charger, installed inside your garage or externally on the side of your building. The Zappi charger is a highly recommended option for EV owners due to its efficiency, ease of use and compatibility with renewable energy sources like solar panels. With Zappi, you have the flexibility to charge your vehicle from the grid or your own green energy sources, and compatibility with electricity suppliers.

Step 5: Installing the Zappi Current Limiting Device

Finally, we install a Zappi current limiting device to ensure that your system never exceeds the available power supply. This crucial component manages the power flow to the charger, preventing overloads and ensuring that the rest of your home's electrical needs continue without disruption.

What's Next?

The Zappi EV charger connects to the National Grid via UK Power Networks or GTC, ensuring proper compliance and electrical standards, and requires notification to NICEIC for installation approval before meeting building regulations (Part P).
