Common mistakes
Quoting without a survey
Cable length and earthing change the price a lot. State the survey findings the quote is based on.
Ignoring the supply
Check maximum demand. If the supply needs upgrading, that's a separate conversation with the network operator.
Questions
Do I need to notify the network operator?
+
Chargepoint installations usually need notifying to the DNO. Check the current requirements and include it on the quote.
Should the quote include the charger?
+
Most installers supply it. If the customer supplies their own, say so and adjust the warranty wording.
How long does an install take?
+
A straightforward install is often half a day.
