EV Charger Installation in Rawalpindi

EV charger installation is mostly electrical work around a small box on the wall. The box is the easy part.

The wall box is the easy part

Plugging a charger into the nearest socket is how people end up with a melted plug. An electric car pulls a heavy current for hours, much more than a kettle does for minutes. The job is mostly electrical work around the box: the cable run, the breaker, the protection and the earth. A good wall box on a poor circuit is not a good installation.

What we check first

We start at your main distribution board. Is there spare capacity? Is the earthing actually good, which we measure instead of assuming? How far is the garage from the board, since a long run needs a thicker cable? And what is the sanctioned load on your electricity connection? A 7 kW charger is a big addition to a typical home, and it is worth knowing whether your connection can take it before you buy anything.

We also look at the car. The connector has to match, and most EVs sold here use a Type 2 socket, but we check yours. And the car has its own onboard charger which sets the speed limit: a 7 kW box on a car that accepts 3.3 kW will only deliver 3.3 kW.

What 7 kW means in daily life

Roughly 35 to 45 kilometres of driving for every hour plugged in, depending on the car. In practice that means an overnight charge refills most of what you used during the day. It is not a fast charger for road trips and it is not meant to be. It is the thing that makes the daily routine simple.

Pairing with solar

If you already have solar panels, charging the car in the middle of the day uses power you would otherwise export or waste. A charger that can read how much solar surplus there is will adjust itself, charging faster on a sunny afternoon and slower when clouds come. If you are planning solar at the same time, we can size the system with the car in mind.

For homes with a battery or an inverter, we also look at which circuits stay powered during an outage. Charging a car from a battery bank empties it very quickly, so we usually keep the charger off the backup circuit.

A survey of your board, earthing and cable route,
a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker and residual current protection,
wall box mounted where the cable reaches the car without being stretched,
testing and a short demonstration, with a certificate of the earth test,
optional solar-aware charging and a phone app.

We also help offices and shops that want a couple of charging bays for staff and customers. Power for these comes from the same planning as backup power and solar, and a smart home controller from our smart home service can schedule charging for cheaper hours. Companies that run a fleet may also want GPS tracking and dashcams for the same vehicles.

Frequently asked questions

Can you install a charger without changing my meter or connection?

Often yes, if your sanctioned load and wiring have room for it. We check before quoting, and tell you plainly if your electricity connection needs attention first.

Which connector does my car use?

Most EVs sold in Pakistan use Type 2 for AC charging, but not all, so we check your car before ordering. Send us the model and year.

How long does it take to charge?

A 7 kW charger adds roughly 35 to 45 kilometres of range per hour for a typical car, and an overnight session usually refills a day of driving. The car's own onboard charger can lower that.

Can the charger run on solar only?

Some wall boxes can charge from surplus solar. Without a battery the charge slows down when clouds pass, which is normal. We explain the options when we see your system.
