This section outlines a typical process of installing charge points at your workplace or depot. 

Site load 

• Assess existing sufficiency of workplace or depot capacity. 
• Engage with DNO as necessary to facilitate connection upgrades. 

Agreements 

• Understand ownership conditions.  
• Understand if there are any existing legal conditions on electricity use at site. 
• Agree budget and source financing for the project. 

Location planning  

• Understand where charge points will be installed and assess the logistics of installing cables between consumer units and charge points. 

Onsite work 

• Assess the impact of civil work including the requirement for excavation, ducting, and trenching. 

Future proofing 

• Assess the long-term plan for infrastructure at the site: will further chargers likely be required, or charger upgrades as current technology becomes outdated?
