What can increase the cost of your EV chargepoint installation?
There are a number of factors, but here are a few examples that can increase the cost of your installation:
- Extra cabling - if more cabling over the 15 metres already included is needed then this will cost extra.
- Water or gas bonding - Your house should already have this but if not, we are legally obliged to ensure a house has gas and water bonding before we do any work, in our case, install your EV charger. Bonding is a connection of metallic parts with a protective bonding conductor. Without bonding, in a fault condition, metal appliances connected to the gas or water pipes could cause the associated pipework to become live. If you then touch them, you could receive a potentially fatal electric shock.
- Extra labour - for more complex installations or for jobs that will simply take longer (above the three hours included).
