- Location of Charge Point: Know where the charge point will be installed

- Earth Inspection Box: Ensure the earth inspection box is located and visible
- ESB Meter Cabinet Key: Have the key available so the video surveyor can inspect inside the meter cabinet
- Fuseboard Accessibility: Ensure the fuseboard is accessible for viewing during the survey.
You may need to purchase an onsite survey at a cost of €130 if your video survey is unsuccessful. This will be confirmed after your video survey by our installation partner Circet.
Some homes are not suitable for EV charge point installation without wiring upgrades. This is in line with the safe electric Ireland standards.
If your property requires these works, you will be made aware of the works required and the cost before any work is carried out.

You will need to complete the purchase and installation of the post before arranging your EV charger appointment. You will need to seek advice from your local planning authority before considering a free-standing post.
