Electric11 completed this Evec EV charger installation in Attleborough for a residential property that needed a safe, practical home charging point with a dedicated cable route. The work covered the charger installation, cabling, protective devices, groundworks, exterior mounting and final electrical testing.
The completed system gives the homeowner a convenient place to charge at home, supported by a dedicated circuit and appropriate electrical protection. It also shows how careful planning can solve a challenging outdoor cable route while maintaining a tidy, permanent finish.
This project involved more than mounting an EV charger beside the property. The preferred charging position required a new cable route from the main meter area, including trench excavation and reinstatement. The charger also needed a secure freestanding mounting point rather than a standard wall fixing.

The homeowner needed a complete charging solution designed around the layout of the property. The work included:
The charger location required a new cable run across part of the property. Our team excavated a trench, installed the necessary cabling and reinstated the route after completing the electrical work.
Placing the cable underground created a protected, permanent route and avoided leaving a long exposed cable run across the exterior of the property. Careful planning at this stage also helped position the charger where the homeowner could reach it easily during daily use.
The property layout called for a freestanding installation instead of attaching the charger directly to an external wall. We installed a dedicated mounting post and secured the Evec charger in the agreed position.
This approach created a stable installation close to the parking area while keeping the charging connection accessible. It also allowed the cable route, mounting point and charger position to work together as one complete system.
An EV charger places a substantial new load on a home’s electrical system, so the installation required a dedicated circuit with suitable protection. We connected the charger to the property’s single-phase supply and fitted a 32A Type A RCBO.
The RCBO provides overcurrent and residual-current protection for the charging circuit. We also installed a Type 1 surge protection device to help protect the electrical installation and connected equipment from transient overvoltage.
These protective components formed an important part of the completed EV charger installation in Attleborough, supporting safe and dependable day-to-day charging.
Once the charger and protective equipment were in place, our electricians completed the required electrical testing. The recorded results included:
These checks confirmed that the new charging circuit met the required test criteria at the time of completion. The testing also provided a documented record of the circuit condition and protective measures.
The homeowner received a fully operational Evec home charging point designed around the property’s existing layout. The completed project combined a secure post-mounted charger, protected underground cabling, dedicated circuit protection and a neat external finish.
With the installation tested and confirmed satisfactory, the client can now charge their electric vehicle conveniently at home. The project demonstrates the value of using a qualified installer when an EV charger requires new cabling, groundworks or a freestanding mounting solution.
