Free EV readiness check · Dubai, UAE
Before you buy a charger, the real question is whether your board and your DEWA supply can actually take one, and what it costs to do properly. Send me a photo of your distribution board and I will tell you: yes as is, or it needs a DEWA load increase first, and the honest cost either way. Free.
What the free check tells you
Most people buy the charger first and find out about the supply after. This does it the right way round.
Whether your existing board and DEWA supply have the headroom for a charger without any upgrade. Often they do.
If a DEWA load increase or board work is required, you find out now, not after you have bought hardware that cannot run.
An honest all-in number to do it properly, so you are not surprised by a supply upgrade the charger seller never mentioned.
Free, no obligation
Common questions
Usually yes, but it depends on your existing board capacity and DEWA supply. Send a photo of your distribution board and I will tell you free whether it can take a charger as is, whether it needs a DEWA load increase, and the real cost to do it properly.
Sometimes. If your supply and board have headroom, a charger can go in as is. If not, a DEWA load increase is required first. I am licensed to handle both the load increase application and the installation.
A straightforward home charger installation starts from around AED 4,500. Where a DEWA load increase or extra works are needed, that is quoted after the free check, so you see the real number before committing.
