Based in Kent, HCCS is the specialist supplier and installer of electric vehicle charging equipment and solar PV in London and the South East including major towns and villages throughout Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Essex, Surrey and London.
We have wide experience, knowledge and expertise of EV and solar with a specially trained professional team of fully qualified electricians working across the area. We have installed thousands of electric vehicle charge points in homes and businesses and offer advice and help to ensure you choose the right solution to suit your needs.
This depends on various factors. You would need to ensure your supply is adequate for two chargers so a minimum 100A. Also it would depend on whether the chargers have load management clamps applied which would monitor your supply and ensure that the chargers don’t overload. In essence, the power to the cars would be halved via the clamp.
The engineers will have completed specific training for installation of EV charge points, both for single phase and 3-phase supplies. The company should be approved by OZEV and will be accredited by a governing body such as NICEIC which means they will undergo regular auditing and annual checks for competency, and to ensure all regulations are adhered to.
A dedicated installation company will also have built up relationships with manufacturers and will have had training on specific products to be able to carry out installations, maintenance, troubleshooting and commissioning and also to demonstrate the workings of the charger and app.
The answer is yes, provided the vehicle is on the eligible vehicles list and you meet other criteria for the grant.
We offer a wide range of products, but for charging your electric vehicle at home, there are two main options and these are tethered or untethered charge points. Both do the same job in terms of efficiency, they just work in a slightly different way.
Our lead time is usually 1-2 weeks from receiving your enquiry and you approving our quote.
Before installing an electric vehicle charging point, we will ask you for a selection of photos so we can conduct a remote survey of your electrical supply and off street parking arrangement. This involves checking the consumer unit and incoming supply are adequate with capacity for an electric vehicle charge point. We will also check your property’s maximum load demand and in some cases, you may be required to ask your utility provider for a meter tail exchange or upgrade. Don’t worry, we can talk you through the process. If we require further details or if the installation is vey complicated, we may arrange for one of our engineers to carry out a more detailed site survey of your property, this is free of charge.
No, EV chargers draw a lot of power so need to be installed either from your main consumer unit, secondary consumer unit if suitable, or fed directly from your metered supply.
