EV Charger Monitoring
Power logging for EV chargers is a crucial aspect of ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable charging. It involves monitoring and recording electrical parameters to gain insights into energy consumption, system performance, and potential issues. Here’s a breakdown of its significance and key considerations:
Electrical System Assessment
- Before installing EV chargers, especially in locations with existing electrical infrastructure (like apartment buildings or workplaces), power logging helps determine if the system can handle the added load.
- It identifies peak energy consumption periods, preventing overloads and potential disruptions.
Energy Consumption Monitoring
- Power logging provides data on the amount of electricity used by the EV charger, allowing for accurate billing and cost tracking.
- It helps optimize charging schedules and identify opportunities for energy savings.
Performance Analysis
- Monitoring voltage, current, and power quality helps identify potential issues, such as voltage fluctuations or harmonic distortions, that can affect charger performance and longevity.
- It aids in troubleshooting and maintenance
Grid Management
- Grid Management With the increasing adoption of EVs, power logging plays a vital role in managing the impact on the electrical grid.
- It provides data for grid operators to monitor and balance energy demand
Regulatory Compliance
- In some cases, power logging data may be required to demonstrate compliance with energy efficiency regulations or grid connection requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s common to have many questions when considering installing an EV charger at home. Here’s a breakdown of frequently asked questions, drawing from reliable sources:
How long does an EV charger installation take?
- A standard installation typically takes around 4 hours. However, non-standard installations, which involve more complex wiring or longer cable runs, can take considerably longer
What is a "standard Installation"?
A standard installation generally involves:
Mounting the charger on a suitable wall.
Running cabling from your home’s electrical supply to the charger within a specified distance.
Basic electrical connections and safety checks.
Factors that make an installation “non-standard” include:
Long cable runs.
Required upgrades to your electrical installation including installing bonding to the gas and water supplies if not already present
The need for groundworks.
Installations to detached garages.
Do I need permission to install an EV charger?
- Generally for home installations, in many cases planning permission is not needed, however for the majority of installations permission will be required from the DNO, this is usually given within one week of application.
Can I install an EV charger myself?
- No, it is highly recommended and in many cases legally required to have a qualified, certified electrician perform the installation. This is to ensure safe and compliant electrical work.
What are the different types of EV charger connections?
For home charging, AC (alternating current) chargers are most common.
Type 2 connections are the standard for most modern EVs in Europe.
Tethered chargers have a cable attached. Untethered chargers have a socket, so a seperate charging cable is needed.
What to Consider Before Installation?
Electrical System
A qualified electrician will assess your home’s electrical system to ensure it can handle the load of an EV charger. Upgrades may be necessary.
Location
The placement of the charger is crucial for convenience and safety. Consider the proximity to your parking spot and the electrical supply.
Cost
Installation costs can vary significantly based on the complexity of the job however a standard installation starts at £950
