  • An EV (electric vehicle) charging point is simply
    a site where an electric car may be refuelled.
    With the exception of some geographical
    peculiarities, these charging points are more or
    less standardized, implying that any electric car
    should be able to use any charging point.
  • Charging stations can be found at conventional
    gas stations, places of work, and even by the
    local council strewn around inhabited regions.
  • Because even fast charging takes much longer than
    typical petrol or diesel refill, having a
    charging point installed at your home is
    generally considered a must for any electric
    vehicle owner.

  • Being able to do it from the comfort of your own
    home makes owning an electric vehicle that much
    more convenient.
  • How safe is it to install a car charging point at
    home? 
  • To begin, let me state unequivocally that having
    an EV charging station built on your property is
    completely legal.
  • There are restrictions and regulations about how
    it is installed and what criteria must be
    followed, but no laws prohibit a regular property
    owner from installing a charging point.

5
  • Some charging points or cables are designed to be
    plugged into a standard power outlet in your
    home, and they don't require any electrical
    knowledge or certification. Any new electric
    vehicle will normally come with this style of
    charger.
  • The majority of these alternatives consist of a
    single cable that connects to an outlet on one
    end and your car on the other, but there are some
    that have a more traditional-looking charging
    port.

6
  • In these situations, you'll probably want to
    mount the charging unit to your wall, which will
    involve some know-how, but there's no law that
    says you have to be a qualified contractor to
    drill some holes in your wall.
  • That's not to say you can't cause damage to your
    wall by drilling holes in it, and we wouldn't
    recommend doing so without first knowing what's
    behind it.

7
  • It's also worth noting that your electrical
    systems must be up to code. Plugging an EV
    charging point into a conventional outlet can
    trip breakers, melt wires, and even spark
    electrical fires if your home's wiring isn't up
    to the task.
  • The alternative, like many things in life, is
    more convenient to use but more difficult to
    obtain. Fast charging points power your electric
    vehicle far faster than the way described above,
    but installing one on your premises is far more
    difficult than simply plugging it into a
    conventional electrical socket.

8
  • The first issue is that fast charging ports
    necessitate fairly extensive electrical
    installation on your property, which has
    regulatory and legal implications. Therefore, we
    always recommend calling for professional
    electric car charging point installers.

9
  • Conclusion
  • Therefore, we can say that whenever you are
    thinking that you need to install car charging
    point at home you should call for professional
    installers rather than installing it yourself.
  • It saves your time helps you avoid accidents and
    also doesnt let you get into the hassle
    unnecessarily. Moreover, you are sure the
    installation has been done correctly if its done
    by a professional.
