Installing an EV charger at home is the first step for those looking to charge their electric vehicle conveniently and safely. Whether it’s a simple home EV charger or a more advanced solution like public EV charging stations, the process can vary depending on the characteristics of your existing electrical system. While installing the Dazebox is quick, the total time required mainly depends on the readiness of the electrical system, cable setup, and adherence to safety standards. In short, once these aspects are sorted out, you can have your Dazebox installed and ready to use in record time.


What to know before installing an EV charging station


Before proceeding with the installation of an electric vehicle charging station, there are a few key factors to check. The existing electrical system needs to be compatible with the charger, and it’s important to ensure your home has sufficient electrical capacity to support an EV charger. A preliminary check of the available power and proper cable setup will help prevent issues during installation.

Key steps in the installation process


Although relatively fast, installing the Dazebox requires the electrical system to be properly prepared. Here’s a detailed list of the tasks the installer will need to complete:

  • Cable Setup: To ensure the Dazebox functions correctly, properly sized cables must be used. If required, the cables can be placed inside a dedicated conduit.
  • Electrical Protections Installation: A dedicated differential circuit breaker must be installed to guarantee the safety of both the system and the Dazebox.
  • Power Manager: In 95% of home installations, a load balancing system is used to manage the electrical load and optimize available energy.
  • Drilling and Mounting: The wall will need to be drilled to securely and stably mount the Dazebox.
  • Cable Connections: The power cables and the power manager cable must be connected to the Dazebox to ensure optimal operation.
  • Power and Configuration: Once powered, the Dazebox configuration is completed through the dedicated app, allowing for easy and personalized use.


What is the procedure for installing an EV charging station?

Installing an EV charging station involves several steps, including checking the electrical system, setting up the cables, installing necessary protections, and securing the device to the wall. Each step must be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure maximum safety. Once the process is complete, the charger is configured via an app to personalize its operation according to your needs.


How to use an EV charger step-by-step


After installation, using an EV charger is simple:

  • Connect: Plug the charging cable into the vehicle’s socket.
  • Activate: Use the app to start the charging session, or in some models, use an RFID card.
  • Monitor: Check the charging process via the app to track time and charge level.
  • Disconnect: Once charging is complete, unplug the cable from the vehicle and the charger.

How long does the installation take?


If the electrical system is already set up properly, installing the Dazebox can be completed in just 30 minutes. However, when the entire electrical setup is required, the time needed can range from 1.5 to 2 hours for single homes, up to 4-5 hours for more complex installations, such as in apartment buildings.
