The Electrician's Guide to Domestic Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation is part of a series of Electrician's Guides aimed at providing highly practical guidance on a wide range of installations and electrical issues.

This particular guide covers the following areas:

• An overview of the various EV charging modes and types of equipment.
• A summary of the regulatory requirements in this area and the key sources of information.
• The general assessment required prior to designing a system and installing it.
• Methods of electrical protection and earthing.
• Private domestic and small commercial installation design - including control devices, circuit design and cabling.
• Certification and documentation requirements.

The guide also has valuable annexes that provide checklists, design scenarios, a glossary of terms and a fact file on private on-street EV charging.

This new guide complements the code of practice in this area and is aimed directly at those installing EV charging points for residents - focussing on the key problem areas and essential information required to undertake these installations safely and effectively.
