Question 5

Will my fuse needs upgrading for an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Often not. A 7 kW charger draws about 32 amps, and most homes have a 60, 80 or 100 amp main fuse. The installer does a load check and tells National Grid (South West). If an upgrade is needed, National Grid (South West) usually does it free for domestic chargers, but it can add a few weeks.

Sometimes. Larger loads like chargers, batteries and solar have to be notified, and if the supply's too small they book National Grid (South West) for Ottery St Mary. Allow a few weeks if an upgrade is needed.
