What is a Standard Installation for EV chargers?
12th May 2019 Smart Home Charge
Each property and customer is different when it comes to electric car chargers for the home. Charger type, location and cable length are just some of the factors that determine whether a Standard Installation is applicable.
At Smart Home Charge, we're honest and upfront about the costs of an installation and each one is different. This is why we ask you to complete our online pre-installation survey (all from the comfort of your home and smartphone) so our engineers can asses the work required and give you an accurate quote before you make a decision or pay for the charger.
This short video explains what our engineers are looking for and what things can affect the overall cost of your installation.
