NAPIT’s Technical team have produced a new ‘Top 10 Tips’ Guide to help those installing Electric Vehicle Chargepoints (EVCPs) avoid commonly overlooked errors.
The guide outlines some areas of focus for installers of EVCPs which include: how to approach existing electrical installation checks, ensuring the correct earthing of chargepoints, adequacy of supply, how to alert the DNO and labelling and certification requirements.
Commenting on the new guide, Frank Bertie, Chief Technical Officer at NAPIT said: “The Audits commissioned by the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles into Domestic Chargepoints outlined several common oversights made by installers that were often quite simple to rectify. In response to the findings, NAPIT’s technical team have created this Top 10 Tips guide to highlight these to installers of EVCP and encourage them to take the advice into consideration for future installs. We hope this guide will enable greater compliance and safety standards as we remain committed to supporting our members and the wider industry enhance their understanding as new technological advancements are made.”
