Black outdoor FuseBox consumer unit with its cover open on a brick wall in Milton Keynes
Outdoor FuseBox consumer unit associated with EV charging work in Milton Keynes.

An EV installation involves more than the charger itself. This Milton Keynes photo focuses on the outdoor FuseBox consumer unit, mounted on a brick wall with its protective cover open and the front switching devices visible.

The equipment behind the charger

A charger needs an appropriate electrical supply and protective equipment selected for the installation. Depending on the property, that can involve additional equipment alongside the main consumer unit. This image highlights that supporting part of the work.

The outdoor enclosure and the cables entering beneath it are visible in the photograph. The exact arrangement for another property depends on the existing supply, charger requirements and proposed cable route; it should be assessed for that particular installation.

Planning the complete EV installation

When comparing installation options, consider the supply work as well as the charger model and its position. A useful enquiry includes photos of the existing meter area, consumer unit and intended parking space.
