Not just the charger. The right home-charging plan starts with how you drive, where you park and how the house uses energy. We help bring those requirements together before you choose the equipment or close off the routes. Someone on your team, looking ahead. Technology moves quickly. We keep your build up to speed. [Decisions early. Options later.](https://ontheteam.co.uk/before-first-fix-review/) 01 / THE LONGER VIEW ## Your next car. Your wider home. A charger is one device in an electrical system. We help you consider parking, cable access, future vehicles, household demand and possible solar integration, then coordinate the questions your qualified installer needs to resolve. We help you decide what needs attention now, what deserves provision and what can sensibly wait. A DECISION WORTH MAKING EARLY > Today’s driveway. Tomorrow’s charging routine. Even if an EV is a later purchase, it can be worth planning the route and connection requirements while driveway or building work is taking place. 02 / QUESTIONS THAT SHAPE THE PLAN ## Ask it now. Allow for it early. 1. Where will vehicles park, and how will the cable reach safely? 2. What should the electrical specialist check about the supply and demand? 3. Could more than one vehicle need charging in future? 4. Which scheduling, monitoring and energy integrations do you want confirmed? A CONNECTED DECISION ### Considering solar or a battery too? Ask how charging should fit the wider energy plan before making separate equipment choices. [Join up the energy decisions](https://ontheteam.co.uk/solar-battery-advice/) 03 / MAKE ROOM FOR WHAT’S NEXT ## Plan the foundations. Keep useful options open. Early planning does not mean buying everything today. It means understanding what later choices depend on. 01 / DECIDE NOW ### Start with parking and daily routines. Agree likely parking positions, charging needs and household priorities. Ask the electrical specialist to assess the supply and installation requirements. 02 / PREPARE NOW ### Coordinate the route before groundworks. Bring connection routes and charger locations into the site plan. Discuss provision for a later or additional charger with the installer. 03 / CHOOSE LATER ### Match supported features to your needs. Choose equipment and operating preferences against the confirmed brief. Treat advanced features as specific compatibility questions, not automatic inclusions. 04 / SOMETHING YOUR TEAM CAN USE ## From possibilities to a practical brief. We agree the scope against your project, its stage and the information available. - A parking and charging requirements brief - A coordinated location and connection-route plan - Questions about supply, demand and system compatibility - A clear scope for the appointed electrical installer We advise, plan and coordinate. Appointed specialists carry out detailed engineering design, installation and certification. BEFORE WE START ## A few good questions. ### Can we prepare before we own an EV? Yes. Your installer can advise what provision makes sense for the intended location and likely requirements. Choosing the charger itself may be a later decision. ### Does solar charging work with any charger? Do not assume it does. The selected equipment, controls and installation need their supported behaviour and compatibility confirmed by the relevant specialists. THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE DECISIONS ## Worth thinking about together. [06 / THINK ABOUT IT TOGETHER ### Wi-Fi and wired networks Confirm the connection a charger needs at its actual location.
