Professionally Installed EV Charger in Devon
A recent project in Woodbury, Devon involved reinstalling an Ohme Home Pro charger that the customer had brought with them from their previous address. They’d recently moved into their new home and wanted their EV charging set up quickly, but also safely and in full compliance with current installation standards. Even when reusing an existing charger, a fresh installation still needs careful planning to make sure it integrates properly with the new property’s electrical setup — and that’s exactly what this job focused on.
During the initial visit, I carried out a full assessment of the consumer unit, protective devices, bonding and available capacity to ensure the new home could support EV charging without over-stressing the installation. Although the charger itself was already owned by the customer, everything feeding it needed to be installed to modern standards. For this job, I used EV Ultra cable, which combines power and data within the same high-quality sheath, making it perfect for neat, reliable EV installs.
Project Overview
Here’s how the installation came together:
Inspection of the customer’s existing Ohme unit to verify it was in good condition and suitable for reinstalling.
Assessment of the new home’s consumer unit, checking for spare ways, RCD/RCBO protection and maximum demand.
Load calculation to ensure the property could safely support EV charging alongside existing circuits.
Cable route planning using EV Ultra, allowing for a tidy, efficient run with built-in data capability for the charger.
Exterior drilling and routing carried out neatly, with proper fixings and weatherproofing.
Correct termination and glanding of the EV Ultra cable for long-term durability.
Mounting and commissioning of the Ohme charger, including setup based on the customer’s charging habits.
Complete testing & certification, covering Zs readings, RCD performance, insulation resistance and more.
Benefits for the Homeowner
Reusing their existing Ohme charger saved the customer money while still giving them access to all the smart, tariff-optimised charging features Ohme offers. The use of EV Ultra cable ensures the installation is robust, tidy and future-ready — a big advantage when upgrading or moving home.
