Vehicle & charger
Review the vehicle connection, supported charging capability and equipment suitability.
EV CHARGING
Charging that belongs in your property plan.
Make room for charging where you live or work. DSA reviews parking, vehicle use and the property’s electrical supply before recommending a charger and installation plan.

THE CONNECTIONS, SIMPLIFIED
From the property’s supply to your vehicle.
Electricity supply
Grid and/or compatible solar
Property electrical system
Assessed capacity and protection
EV charger
Suitable equipment and location
Vehicle
A compatible charging connection
Solar or battery integration requires compatible equipment and a suitable design. Solar generation does not mean every charger can charge directly or exclusively from solar.
WHAT GOES INTO A SOLUTION
More than choosing a charger.
For EV owners, workplaces, hospitality operators and developers planning a home charger or charging provision for a wider property.
Supply & distribution
Check electrical demand, panel capacity and any installation changes that may be required.
Placement & cable route
Plan convenient access, sensible cable reach and a location suited to the environment.
Use & future demand
Consider charging patterns, other property loads and possible additional vehicles or spaces.

ASSESSMENT BEFORE EQUIPMENT
Look at the driveway and the demand.
- Parking & access
- Where the vehicle parks, who uses the space and how cables can avoid walkways.
- Electrical capacity
- Available supply, panel condition and the other loads that may operate while charging.
- Driving & charging
- Vehicle information, typical use, time available to charge and expected future needs.
- A wider property plan
- For businesses or developments, discuss multiple users, management and possible expansion.
FIND YOUR STARTING POINT
At home, at work or part of a development.
Explore the possibilities first. The assessment establishes what is suitable, and the quotation sets out the proposed scope.
Home charging
Plan a convenient residential charging point around the vehicle, parking and electrical supply.
Business & hospitality
Assess intended users, demand and operation before selecting charging equipment.
Future provision
Consider routes and capacity for additional charging needs without assuming expansion will be automatic.
Charging capability depends on the vehicle, charger, electrical supply and installation design. Public charging networks, tariffs and payment services are not implied.
BEYOND INSTALLATION
Understand it. Use it. Care for it.
Handover should cover normal operation, cable care, fault indicators and how to request support. Inspection, servicing and any connected-service arrangements depend on the selected equipment.
Think about the connections.
Coordinate charging with solar and battery planning where suitable. Available capacity, controls and the vehicle’s requirements determine what can work together.
BEFORE OUR FIRST CONVERSATION
Bring the useful details.
Have your vehicle or charger information, parking details and any available electrical records ready. Commercial enquiries should also describe expected users and operating hours.
Request an EV Charger AssessmentGOOD QUESTIONS
Before you begin.
Can any property have an EV charger?
Suitability depends on electrical capacity, parking access and installation requirements. These need to be assessed for the specific property.
Can charging work alongside solar?
That can be explored as part of an integrated energy plan. Equipment compatibility, loads and control options need review.
Can I enquire before buying an EV?
Yes. Share your expected vehicle type and parking arrangement so the conversation can begin with the property’s requirements.
Will the property need electrical upgrades?
An assessment determines whether the existing supply and distribution equipment are suitable and what work is needed. Upgrades are not assumed or ruled out in advance.
How quickly will my vehicle charge?
Charging speed is limited by the vehicle, charger and available supply. Usage patterns and the proposed installation need review before discussing expected performance.
