EV Smart Charge
Points Regulations
What are the EV Smart Charge Points Regulations?
The Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021 is the sale and installation of
electric vehicle charge points are prohibited unless they meet smart functionality
requirements.
The regulations only affect charge points defined as:
• Occupiers of domestic premises and their visitors
• People at their place of work including fleet drivers at most depots
At Project EV, we would like to highlight and put your mind at ease that all of our charge
points comply with these new standards and have been designed to protect both the
stability of the electricity grid and our consumers. Project EV is working in partnership with
Electric Miles to provide consumers with not only a compliant solution, but the best smart
charging experience available.
Key Points You Should Know
• Default off-peak charging – The charge point will not operate during peak hours of 8am to
11am and 4pm to 10pm, on weekdays. We would like to make it clear that you can over ride
these options if you wish.
• Demand Side Response (DSR) – Any charge point with a DSR Agreement won't need to
follow the default off peak charging regulations as a DSR Agreement will work in conjunction
with the end user's electricity tariff enabling the user to save money. Project EV has teamed
up with Electric Miles who can provide this feature should you require it.
• Randomised delay – Please note when you set your car to charge it may not start
instantaneously, it may take up 600 seconds before the car begins to charge. This is of no fault
on the charger, it is simply complying to regulation above. However, there are certain
charging scenarios where this functionality is not desirable, particularly if an immediate
response is needed from the charge point, therefore the owner or end-user has the option to
cancel the randomised delay by manually overriding the delay for that charge.
