Why we contact your DNO and what may be involvedUpdated 2 years ago

To ensure the UKs electricity is managed safely the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) need to be aware of any significant electrical connections. As a EVIOS home charge point is a significant installation, EVIOS will notify the relevant DNO once the charge point is installed. 

When the DNO is happy with the charge point connection you will receive their approval either directly from the DNO or forwarded from EVIOS.

The DNO may contact you directly if the main fuse in your property needs upgrading, for example, you currently have a 60A fuse the DNO may request this to be upgraded to an 80A or 100A fuse. This may involve other remedial work to ensure the electrics are safe and up to current standards within your home.

If any remedial work is requested by your DNO, typically, you will not have to pay for this. However, we cannot guarantee any DNO work will be free of charge. Where work is requested by your DNO, it will be discussed with you directly between you and your DNO.
