EV charge point problems

10 problems

Caution

Nowhere To Charge Without Trailing A Cable Across The Pavement

You park on the street, so the only way to reach the car from the house is a cable lying across the footway.

Low risk

You Live In A Flat And Cannot Get A Charge Point Fitted

There is a car park, but the space is not yours, the wall is not yours, and nobody will say yes.

Low risk

Told Your Supply Will Not Take A 7kW Charge Point

The survey came back saying the incoming supply is too small, or that the charge point will have to be limited.

Low risk

The Parking Space Is Nowhere Near The Meter

The car parks at the far end of the garden, or in a detached garage, and the fuse box is at the other side of the house.

Low risk

Listed Building, Conservation Area Or Nowhere To Mount It

You want a charge point but the house is listed, the front is in a conservation area, or there is no wall to fix it to.

Caution

A Charge Point Living Outside, And A Lead Worth Stealing

The unit is bolted to an exposed wall, faces the weather all year, and the lead is left plugged in overnight.

Low risk

The App Stopped Working Or The Brand Has Disappeared

The charge point still has power, but the app will not log in, the schedule is gone, or the company behind it has stopped trading.

Low risk

You Have Solar But The Car Still Charges From The Grid

The panels are generating, the car is plugged in, and the charge point is pulling from the grid anyway.

Low risk

Two Electric Cars And One Charge Point

Both cars need charging overnight and you are swapping the lead over at two in the morning.
