EV charge point problems
Nowhere to put one, a supply that will not carry it, a flat with no parking space of your own, a brand that stopped supporting the app, and what happens when you move.
Nowhere To Charge Without Trailing A Cable Across The Pavement
CautionYou park on the street, so the only way to reach the car from the house is a cable lying across the footway.
You Live In A Flat And Cannot Get A Charge Point Fitted
Low riskThere is a car park, but the space is not yours, the wall is not yours, and nobody will say yes.
Told Your Supply Will Not Take A 7kW Charge Point
Low riskThe survey came back saying the incoming supply is too small, or that the charge point will have to be limited.
The Parking Space Is Nowhere Near The Meter
Low riskThe 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.
Listed Building, Conservation Area Or Nowhere To Mount It
Low riskYou 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.
A Charge Point Living Outside, And A Lead Worth Stealing
CautionThe unit is bolted to an exposed wall, faces the weather all year, and the lead is left plugged in overnight.
The App Stopped Working Or The Brand Has Disappeared
Low riskThe charge point still has power, but the app will not log in, the schedule is gone, or the company behind it has stopped trading.
You Have Solar But The Car Still Charges From The Grid
Low riskThe panels are generating, the car is plugged in, and the charge point is pulling from the grid anyway.
Two Electric Cars And One Charge Point
Low riskBoth cars need charging overnight and you are swapping the lead over at two in the morning.
Moving House, Or Renting, With A Charge Point
Low riskYou are selling, buying or renting, and nobody is sure who the charge point belongs to or what paperwork should come with it.
