What height should you mount your EV Charger?
Experts recommend positioning your EV charger between 750mm and 1200mm above ground level to balance safety and usability.
Key mounting considerations include:
- Safety First: A minimum height of 750mm helps minimise electrical shock risks and potential hazards.
- Ease of Use: Mounting the charger up to 1200mm makes connecting and disconnecting charging cables more comfortable for most users.
When installing your EV charging point, keep these guidelines in mind:
- Always comply with local building and safety regulations
- Consider the typical height of users who will access the charger
- Ensure the location provides protection from potential water damage or physical impact
For precise installation guidance, consult a professional electrician specialising in EV charging point installations. Their expertise will help you select the ideal location and mounting height that meets both safety standards and your specific charging needs.
Proper installation ensures not just safety, but also the long-term reliability and convenience of your electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
