EV Charger Technical & Regulatory FAQs
Definitive answers on BS 7671 Section 722 earthing, DNO G98/G99 grid rules, OZEV grants, looped supplies, and smart EV tariffs.
What is EVSE or EVCP?
EVSE stands for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment and EVCP stands for Electric Vehicle Charging Point. EVSE represents the complete hardware, electronic communications controllers, and safety switching components that supply regulated AC electricity from your home grid to recharge your vehicle.
What sort of Charging Point do I need for my car?
Almost all modern electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the UK require a Type-2 (Mennekes) connector. Saim Volt installs 7.4kW single-phase fast smart chargers with Type-2 tethered cables or untethered universal sockets.
Is there any special offer with EV Charger Installation?
Yes! At Saim Electrical, we offer a FREE Electrical Safety Check and Report (EICR worth £350) with every home EV charger installation! An EICR is mandatory for property electrical safety, landlord compliance, and building insurance peace of mind.
What is the cost of Electrical Charging Point Installation?
Installation typically ranges between £1,100 and £1,500 per socket depending on make/model, cable routing, and distance. This turnkey price includes the smart charger, dedicated RCBO, Type 2 Surge Protection Device, 3-year warranty, DNO grid notification, and Part P compliance certification.
What is your installation turnaround time and warranty?
We complete smart charger installations within 1 week (7 business days) of order confirmation. Furthermore, Saim Electrical backs every installation with our signature 3-Year Workmanship Warranty.
What is a G98 or G99 notification? Who informs the DNO?
G98 is the UK engineering standard requiring DNO notification within 28 days of system commission where single-phase capacity/export is up to 3.68kW (16A) or 11.04kW on 3-phase. G99 applies where capacity exceeds 3.68kW, requiring advance prior approval. Saim Electrical manages 100% of all ENA / DNO paperwork directly with Electricity North West.
Do I need water and gas earthed/bonded for an EV charger?
Yes. To comply with Section 722 of BS 7671, incoming metallic water and gas pipes must have verified main protective bonding with 10mm² copper earthing conductors. If your home lacks bonding, Saim Electrical installs compliant bonding before commissioning for a small additional charge.
What is the difference between a Tesla Wall Connector and other EV chargers?
In the UK, all EV chargers on PME networks must be protected by a PEN fault device that isolates Line, Neutral, and Earth during broken neutral faults. Tesla Wall Connectors do not have internal PEN devices; at Saim Electrical, we supply and fit a compliant external Matt:e / Garo PEN isolation device so your Tesla install meets BS 7671 without earth rods.
I have an old fuse box; can I still have an EV charging point fitted?
Yes! You do not need to replace your old fuse box. Saim Electrical installs a dedicated separate mini EV consumer unit directly from your meter tails, equipped with a Type A RCBO and Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) to protect both your home and electric car.
What is a looped or branch supply? Can I connect an EV charger?
A looped supply is a shared service cable between neighbors. We can connect an EV charger with temporary load limitation while notifying the DNO to unloop the cable free of charge. A branch supply (looping after the origin) cannot be connected until the DNO un-branches the supply. Saim Electrical assists with all DNO applications.
How much does it cost to run a car on electric?
An electric car achieves approx. 4 miles per kWh. For a 70kWh battery charged on an off-peak smart tariff (~7.5p/kWh), a full recharge costs just £5.25 - £5.60 for up to 280 miles—saving over £1,500 every year compared to petrol or diesel.
Does heating and air conditioning drain the car battery?
Yes, resistive cabin heaters consume significant battery storage in cold weather. However, Saim Electrical empirical tests demonstrate that Air Conditioning (A/C) consumes minimal power once cycled on. Preconditioning while plugged in preserves maximum winter driving range.
