Step 1: Confirm Feasibility and Obtain Permissions

Check Property Management Rules: Consult your residential property management to confirm whether EV charger installations are allowed in private parking spaces.

Verify Electrical Capacity: Ensure the community’s power grid can support the additional load (typically 7kW for home chargers).

Step 2: Prepare Documentation

Submit an installation application to your property management, including:

Proof of parking space ownership (or long-term lease agreement).

EV purchase/ownership certificate.

Charger specifications and installation plan.

Step 3: Apply for Power Supply

Contact the local power utility company to apply for a dedicated meter or circuit for the charger.

For 7kW AC chargers, a 220V single-phase power supply is standard; ensure wiring meets safety standards (e.g., 6mm² copper cable for 32A circuits).

Step 4: Hire a Licensed Electrician

Select a certified installer to:

Mount the charging station on a wall or pedestal.

Connect wiring from the meter to the charger.

Install safety devices (e.g., circuit breakers, surge protectors).

Step 5: Inspection and Activation

After installation, the property management and power company will inspect the setup for compliance.（portable electric charger）

Once approved, the charger is activated and ready for use.

Key Considerations

Costs: Installation typically ranges from ¥2,000 to ¥5,000, depending on wiring distance and labor.

Safety: Use waterproof enclosures for outdoor installations and avoid shared circuits.

Smart Features: Opt for Wi-Fi-enabled chargers to monitor usage and schedule charging during off-peak hours.

Regulatory Tips

In China, residential EV charger installations are encouraged under national green energy policies, but local rules may vary.

For rented parking spaces, obtain written consent from the property owner.
