What makes a charger install work well
Site checked first
Supply, earthing, parking and cable route are reviewed before we install anything.
Charger choice made practical
We help compare tethered, untethered and smart features in plain terms.
Set up and explained
Commissioning and handover mean you are not left guessing how it runs.
Charging that suits the vehicle and the property
A dedicated charging point is a more practical answer than relying on general-purpose connections that were never meant for daily vehicle charging. Before installation, we assess the electricity supply, the existing consumer unit, earthing arrangements, parking position and the proposed cable route so the design fits the site properly. We can also talk through tethered and untethered chargers, smart features and load-management options. With MAE Electrical Services, charger installation is planned around how you park, charge and use the vehicle.
Designed around capacity, route and daily use
Charger output, available electrical capacity, cable length and how often the vehicle is used all influence the right set-up. We install the circuit, mount the charger, provide the necessary protection, commission the equipment and explain how it works once it is live. When you book MAE Electrical Services, you get a charging point that is suited to the property and a clear idea of how to use it instead of being left to decipher the instructions later.
Frequently asked questions
Can the charger go where the car is parked?
Often yes, but the best position depends on the parking space, the route for the cable and the available electrical supply. We assess the site before installation so the charger ends up practical to use rather than technically fitted but awkward every day.
Do we need space in the consumer unit?
Possibly, but that is only part of the picture. We also check the wider supply, earthing arrangements and the protection needed for the charger circuit. That tells us how the installation should be designed for the property.
Should we choose a tethered or untethered charger?
That comes down to how you want to charge day to day. A tethered unit has the lead attached, while an untethered unit keeps the charger tidier and uses a separate cable. We explain the practical pros and cons for your parking set-up.
