EV Buyers Guide

The second part of these regulations came into force in December 2022 to focus on increased security and applies to private chargepoints (domestic or workplace). Existing domestic or workplace chargers aren’t affected, and these regulations only apply to England, Wales, and Scotland.

The second phase of the regulations stipulates:

1

EV chargepoints must now include a tamper detection system that issues alerts and records any attempts to the front cover being removed or any breach of the boundary to access internal components - and notifies the chargepoint owner.

2

EV chargepoint owners must be able to access a log of charging notifications via secure log.

3

Users must be able to identify the software version of their charge point and when this should be updated.
