This Code of Practice provides a clear overview of EV charging
equipment, as well as setting out the considerations needed prior to
installations and the necessary physical and electrical installation
requirements. It also details what needs to be considered when
installing electric vehicle charging equipment in various different
locations - such as domestic dwellings, on-street locations, and
commercial and industrial premises.
Key changes for the 4th Edition include:
General requirements - updated in line with the very latest
amendment to BS 7671 (specifically within Section 722)
On street installations - section updated to reflect a range of
situations
Installations at dwellings - section updated to provide greater
clarity on domestic installs
Three phase installations - address in more detail within the
commercial and industrial section of the code
Vehicle to grid - section updated and expanded providing useful
background to this emerging development as well as providing detail on
installation issues
Smart infrastructure integration - updated to cover installation
considerations that are becoming increasingly complicated as EV charging
needs to be compatible and integrated with a range of other systems and
installations
Wireless charging - expansion of coverage of this area as its
potential begins to be established and realised
