EV Chargers for Business

Understanding Requirements & Power Logging

Transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) is a significant step towards a sustainable future. At Bibby Contracting, we understand that installing an EV charger involves more than plugging in. It requires careful planning, adherence to regulations, and a thorough understanding of your electrical infrastructure.

Installing a workplace EV charger demands a professional approach to guarantee safety and compliance.

Qualified Electrician

Only certified and experienced electricians should perform EV charger installations. This ensures compliance with IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and other relevant standards.

Electrical System Assessment

Your property's electrical system must be capable of handling the additional load. We'll assess your existing setup and recommend any necessary upgrades.
This assessment includes checking the main fuse, circuit breaker capacity, and earthing arrangements.

Location & Accessibility

The charger's location should be convenient and accessible to your vehicle. We'll consider factors like cable length, proximity to your electrical supply, and potential hazards

Regulatory Compliance

We ensure all installations comply with the latest regulations, including The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021, relating to smart charging functionality.

Safety Features

All our installations include essential safety features, such as Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and overcurrent protection, to prevent electrical hazards.

Permissions

We can help advise on permissions needed from landlords, or for planning permission if it is required.

The Importance of Power Logging

Electrical Load Analysis

Before installation, power logging helps us determine if your electrical system can handle the added load. This prevents overloads and potential disruptions.

Energy Consumption Monitoring

Power logging provides accurate data on your EV charger energy consumption, allowing for precise cost tracking and optimised charging schedules.

Performance Monitoring

By monitoring voltage, current, and power quality, we can identify potential issues that may affect your charger's performance and longevity.

Grid Impact Assessment

As EV adoption increases, power logging plays a vital role in managing the impact on the electrical grid, helping to ensure stability and reliability.

Smart Charging Optimisation

When smart charging is installed, power logging can help to ensure that the car is charging at the cheapest off peak times, and that the electrical supply is not being overloaded.
