Do I need permissions to install an EV charger?

If the route of cabling or the charger location crosses any boundary lines that are not owned by yourself, permissions would be needed from the relevant authority for it to be installed.

Other commonly asked questions

What if I don’t want to utilise smart scheduling, how can I still use the charger?

If smart scheduling is disabled, you can simply just plug the cable into the vehicle, and it will start charging until it’s either unplugged or fully charged. Additionally, you can still have smart scheduling enabled so you get all the added benefits of security functionality, but you just utilise the ‘boost charge’ function which will then charge the car immediately if plugged in.

How secure are waEV-charge EV chargers?

The waEV-charge EV chargers can only be operated once the unique RFID waEV-Card is swiped or ev.energy smart charging app is activated therefore you’re fully protected from unauthorised use.

Can I have an EV charger for my apartment?

The waEV-charge EV chargers are suitable for both single domestic dwellings, apartment blocks and commercial environments. As standard, our EV1i charger is setup for single domestic properties however our UK based team will custom build your charger based on your requirement.

Can waEV-charge models be daisy chained?

At current our units cannot be daisy chained.

Are you compatible with OVO Charge Anytime or Octopus Intelligent Go?

Our chargers and smart app work with all Octopus and OVO tariffs, however, as the Octopus Intelligent & OVO Charge anytime tariff requires full control over charging, your car must also integrate with them. You can check your compatibility via the below links:
