Site Assessment & Electrical Evaluation
We assess your vehicle, preferred charger location and existing electrical installation to determine the most suitable charging solution.

Once the installation is complete, we thoroughly test and commission the EV charging system to verify safe and correct operation. All relevant electrical connections, protection and charging functions are checked before the charger is handed over.
Issuing of COC
Every EV charger installation includes the applicable Certificate of Compliance (CoC), providing the client with the required compliance documentation for the completed electrical installation.
Remedial Work & Compliance
Once the quotation has been accepted, we carry out the necessary remedial work to the electrical installation. The required changes are made with the aim of bringing the installation into compliance with the applicable requirements of SANS 10142, subject to the scope of work and existing installation conditions.
Final Testing & Certification
