Installation FAQs

Q1: Do I need a survey before installation? Yes. Before we can book your EV charger installation, you must complete a home electrical survey. Q2: How long does the survey take? The online Jumptech survey usually takes 5 minutes to complete. Once submitted, our technical team will review your information and confirm whether your installation is standard or non-standard. Q3: What is a standard installation? A standard install typically includes:

Charger installed within ~15 metres of your consumer unit/electricity meter
No upgrades required to your existing electrical supply
Suitable WiFi or mobile signal for smart chargers
No groundworks or extended cable runs

If the survey identifies additional work, your installation may be classified as non-standard, and we’ll provide a tailored quote. Q4: Can I choose my installation date before completing the survey? No. The survey must be completed and approved first. This ensures we understand your setup, bring the correct materials, and send the right engineer for your installation. Q5: How long does installation take? A typical domestic installation takes around 2–4 hours.
