EV charging installation
Workplace and customer EV charging designed against your site's electrical capacity, installed to the IET Code of Practice, with load managed rather than left to chance.
Why it matters
EV charging is one of the fastest-growing loads on a commercial electrical supply, and installing it without checking the site's capacity first is how sites end up tripping on peak demand. Design has to start with what the incoming supply can actually take.
ILUX designs and installs EV charging to the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, with load management built in so charging doesn't compete with the rest of the site's demand.
What's included
- A site electrical capacity survey before any charge points are specified
- Design for workplace charging, customer charging, or both, matched to how the site is used
- Installation to the IET Code of Practice for EV charging equipment
- Load management to keep charging within the site's available capacity
- Support identifying applicable grant schemes, where available
- Commissioning, testing and handover documentation for the asset register
Fast, rapid or standard charging suits different sites differently — a staff car park has different needs to a customer-facing site with shorter dwell times. We size the mix to how the site is actually used, not a standard spec applied everywhere.
Charging pairs well with generation on site.
Where a site has, or could have, rooftop solar, sizing charging and generation together makes better use of the connection.
How it fits a multi-site contract
Where charging is being rolled out across several sites, the design work and grant applications are handled once and applied consistently, rather than each site starting from scratch.
Common questions.
Will our existing electrical supply cope with EV charging?
That's what the capacity survey establishes. Where the existing supply is tight, we design load management into the installation, or flag where a supply upgrade is needed.
Can you install for both staff and customer use?
Yes. The design covers both, and access and payment arrangements can differ between the two on the same site.
Are there grants available for EV charging?
Grant schemes exist and change over time. We check what applies to your site type and application before you commit.
