The charging method survey - safe charging assured
With a charging method survey you can charge your EV safely and easily
With the growing number of EVs and chargeable hybrids on the roads, more and more attention should be paid to safe charging of the vehicles. The consumers' carefree use of electricity and also ignorance of EV charging make a dangerous mix. The thought doesn’t even occur to everyone that the regular electric sockets at home are not designed for the kind of use the continuous charging of an electric vehicle requires. Take the electric sauna stove in comparison, for instance, having its own special junction box – no-one would dream of of plugging it into a regular electric socket.
PlugIt Finland has developed a Charging Method Survey Service for safe EV charging at home. The charging method survey is an inspection through which the suitability of the property's electrical system to EV charging is carified.
The objective of the charging method survey is first and foremost to assert the electrical safety of the permanent charging place. In the survey we verify that the charging place complies with all relevant Finnish regulations and specifications: electrotechnical measurements as well as sensory observations are made, and we also give advice on charging issues. The survey is carried out by a qualified electrician.
The customer gets an emailed pdf-version of the charging method survey carried out on their property. Should any faults or defects show up in the survey, PlugIt will give a proposal and rough estimate for repairs.
At the very least, a charging method survey should be carried out on the permanent EV charging place, which is generally the car owner's home or workplace.
Carrying out the charging method survey • The resources (main fuses) and suitability of the property's electrical system for charging are ascertained. • Electrotechnical measurements and sensory observations are carried out. • The customer is advised on possible needed repairs and is given a cost estimate. • The customer receives instructions on charging their electric vehicle. • A PlugIt specialist carries out the survey on the customer's permanent charging place. |
Charging is easier and faster with a domestic charging device
In addition to the charging method survey, the best way to ensure the safe charging of your EV is to invest in a car manufacturer-approved domestic charging device, and have it installed as a permanent fixture in the charging place.
The domestic charging device is the safe choice for the car, for the user and for the property. It is easier and faster to charge the car with a charging device.
Other services for chargeable vehicles
In the installation service, the domestic charging device is installed and adjusted to suit the property and the purpose.
Regular servicing and maintenance of the devices guarantees the efficient operating capacity of the charging system.
As with all domestic appliances in general, it is important to pay attention to electrical safety when charging your electric vehicle, too.
