Below are the relevant procedures for installing an electric vehicle charging station: 1. Relevant documents of the installer: The installer needs to bring the original ID card (the name must match the property ownership certificate), property ownership certificate (the name must match the ID card), application report for private charging station electricity use, car purchase contract and invoice, fixed parking space usage certificate, written approval from the property management for installing the charging station, and other materials to the power supply business office or service center to apply for installation; 2. Power supply department survey: Within 3 working days, the power supply department will send personnel to conduct an on-site survey and advise citizens on electricity use (national grid, property electricity, or private electricity) based on the actual situation.
Last time I installed a charging station myself, the process was quite involved. First, regarding the parking space: if you're a property owner in a residential complex, you need to obtain a consent letter from the property management. They may require you to submit proof of parking space ownership and a copy of your ID. Next, contact the power company to apply for an electricity meter installation. This step involves filling out an application form specifying the charging station's power requirements, and usually, someone will come to inspect the site. Before installation, choose a qualified company to handle the wiring and mounting. Remember to check for leakage protection and voltage stability. Upon completion, you'll need to have the property management or the company inspect and sign off before you can officially use it. The entire process took me several weeks, but preparing these documents in advance can save a lot of hassle. Also, check local policies first, as procedures may be simplified or subsidies available in different cities.
As a tenant installing a charging pile, I believe communication with the property management is crucial. First, obtain the landlord's consent letter and parking space proof. If the property management permits, apply for power capacity expansion. The power company requires identification and an application form. After submission, they will schedule a time to install the meter. Then, choose a reliable installation team to handle wiring layout and grounding protection. The process takes time, but safety comes first. Tenants are advised to negotiate cost-sharing with the property management in advance to avoid disputes. After installation, remember to test charging stability to prevent future issues.
