What You’ll Need Before Completing the Form
Our quote request form takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. To provide you with the most accurate quote possible, we’ll ask for details and photographs of key electrical components at your property:
Your Electricity Meter
We need to see your electricity meter to understand your incoming electrical supply. This helps us determine whether your supply can accommodate an EV charger or if an upgrade is required. Single-phase or three-phase supply makes a significant difference to charging speeds available.
Your Consumer Unit (Fuse Board)
Your consumer unit — often called the fuse box — needs spare capacity to add an EV charger circuit. We’ll assess whether you have a modern consumer unit with RCD protection or whether an upgrade is needed as part of your installation.
Your Main Cut-Off Fuse
The main service fuse (sometimes called the main switch or isolator) indicates your property’s maximum electrical capacity. This helps us determine if your supply can handle the additional load of an EV charger.
The Proposed Charger Location
Photos of where you’d like your EV charger installed help us calculate cable run distances and identify any installation challenges. Typical locations include driveways, garages, or carports close to where you park.
