Next, let's discuss how to get your charger installed.
Step 1: Choose the Right Charger and Place
First, select the appropriate Humax EV charger for you, based on your vehicle and charging needs. The majority of homeowners prefer a 7kW charger, which offers a full overnight charge and is generally appropriate for the majority of UK houses.
Then decide where you would like to place the charger. The typical place is on a wall outside in a spot near your garage or driveway. Make sure that it is:
Near where you would usually park your car
Near your consumer unit (fuse box) to reduce installation difficulties
Accessible and not obstructed by bins, gates, or vegetation
Step 2: Schedule a Professional Installation
Installation by a professional electrician is recommended by Humax and is usually a UK legal necessity. It can be booked directly with accredited partners, or as part of a registered OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) installer.
Before installing, the installer will generally:
Inspect your home's electrical system
Do a site survey
Confirm the appropriateness of your chosen destination
Ensure your household power supply can accommodate the charger safely
This stage can also include determining eligibility for government incentives or grants, which can assist in bringing down the installation cost.
Step 3: Safety Checks and Electrical Connections
During the installation day, your installer will:
Shut off the main power supply
Install a specialized electric cable directly from your fuse box to the charger.
Mount the charger safely onto the wall.
Connect and power up the unit
They’ll also conduct a load test and safety inspection to make sure that it's to UK standards. An installation usually takes 2–4 hours, depending on the cable in your house and the distance from the fuse box the charger point will be.
Step 4: Log in to the Humax App
After installation, your installer shall guide you through installing the Humax EV mobile application. Using the application, you can:
Track charging in real-time
Charging schedules at off-hours periods
Monitor electricity use
Receive alerts and updates
Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity (where available) is required to benefit from the smart features.
Step 5: Start Charging Your EV
Equipment installed and ready, you're ready to charge. Simply plug in your vehicle, take a quick peek at the LED status indicator, and monitor the session in the app. Enjoy fast, safe, and hassle-free EV charging in the home environment.
