Ensure you have the appropriate electrical panel
Electric vehicles can draw a lot of electricity, so make sure your electrical panel can handle the additional demand. If your home requires an electrical panel upgrade, you should contact your local utility. Consult a Licensed Electrical Contractor to identify what has to be done.

Request for a Certificate of Acceptance

Think about the location
If the installation is outside, make sure to use charging systems that are designed for outdoor use.
