Electric car: 99 percent of electricians fear 'significant risks' when installing chargers

The lack of suitable training demonstrates a clear risk unless companies ensure their workforce has the necessary training, skills, knowledge and experience to undertake this work safely.

The new research is supported by findings from CENEX and OZEV which were compiled for the Department of Transport.

It found that nearly a fifth of new at home charge point installations installed as part of the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) had dangerous or potentially dangerous issues.

The same research found that only 32 percent of chargers were labelled as satisfactory.
