EV Charge Point Survey

For most home installations, a few clear photos and a handful of details tell me everything I need to give you a firm, costed plan up front, no surprises on the day. It takes about five minutes. If anything's tricky to photograph, don't worry, send what you can and I'll ask if I need more.

Getting good photos

Stand back rather than zooming in, wide shots show more than close-ups. Take them in good light. If in doubt, send an extra photo rather than none, I'll filter what I need. Nothing here is graded, there's no wrong way to do this.

Best time to call and discuss

Photos

Consumer unit (fuse board)

Open the cover so the breakers are visible. Stand back a little rather than zooming in, and include the wall around it. Add as many photos as you need.

Example: a consumer unit with its cover open, every breaker and label visible, photographed from a step back

Choose photo

Incoming supply and meter

A wide shot showing the meter, the main fuse and the cables around it. Step back so the surrounding space is visible, not just a close-up of the meter itself.

Example: an outdoor meter cupboard opened up, showing the meter, the isolator, the main fuse and the cables around them

Choose photo

Cable route

The path a cable would take from the consumer unit to where you'd like the charger. A few photos usually work better than one here, or a short video if that's easier.

Example: a floor plan with the mains cupboard, the charger position on the outside wall and the route the cable would take between them marked in red, with rough lengths

Or add a short video instead

Around 20 seconds is plenty. A slow walk along the route is all I need.

Preferred charger location

The actual wall you have in mind, with your parking spot visible in the same shot.
