Can I install an EV Charger on a Loop Supply?
A 'looped service' connects two properties to a single electricity supply cable, often seen in semi-detached or terraced houses. While sharing this connection, both homes draw power from the main electrical network.
Can you install an EV charger on one? Yes.
In a looped supply setup, adding heavy loads like EV chargers usually required infrastructure upgrades. However, modern smart chargers with load balancing capabilities eliminate this necessity. They manage power usage intelligently, preventing excessive loads and avoiding issues with the main service fuse.
Still, for consistent heavy usage, 'un-looping' the supply might be beneficial. National Grid typically covers this at no cost. In any case informing National Grid about the installation is essential—E-Fix can assist with this process if needed.
