Are you allowed to install a charging point yourself?

Yes — you may install the charger yourself behind your main meter, provided you work safely and follow the instructions. Any work inside the distribution board must be done by a certified electrician.

Is it safe to install a charging station yourself?

Yes, provided you isolate power before starting, follow the installation manual and app steps, and your board is in good condition. When in doubt, use a certified electrician.

Is it difficult to install a charging station yourself?

No — the charger is designed for simple DIY installation with clear step-by-step guidance. If anything looks unusual or non-standard, consult a certified electrician.

How long does it take to install a charging station yourself?

For a straightforward wall mount near the board, many homeowners complete it the same afternoon. Allow extra time for longer cable runs or a pole mount.

What tools do I need to install a charger myself?

Typically a wire stripper and a screwdriver to open the service cover. Power cables connect tool-free; mounting hardware may require basic hand tools depending on the surface.
