EV charger installation FAQ

A Veton® charger is planned with the building, not after it. Position, cable reach, the indoor component box and the conduit route are decided together. The pages below answer what installers and architects ask first.

Where should an EV charger be placed?

Place the charger where the car naturally parks. The cable should reach the port without crossing a walking route. Decide the position with the driveway, not after it.

Do I need an installer?

Yes. A qualified installer checks electrical capacity, protection, earthing, cable section, load balancing and local compliance. Veton® can connect you with an expert through the Find an expert page.

How long is the integrated charging cable on Veton® One, Two (plug) and Wall Plus (plug)?

The Veton® One, Veton® Two (plug) and Veton® Wall Plus (plug) carry a coiled cable. The charging gun hides behind a flush door when not in use. The working radius is about 4 metres from the charger. Plan the position so the car’s port lands inside that radius.

How are Veton chargers wired?

The electronics live indoors. A small component box, with the breakers and control electronics, sits in the technical room near the main panel. The charger outside stays clean. No visible electronics, no service hatch.

The installer brings power and network to the component box. Dedicated cables run from there to each charger.

Cabling between component box and charger

1 × power cable per charging point — typically 5G6 (5 conductors, 6 mm²) or equivalent, sized for the protection rating and run length.
1 × network cable per charging point — Cat6a or Cat7, used for control and communication between the component box and the charger.
Maximum run: 100 m between component box and charger.
For a double charger (Veton Two plug, Two base), this means 2 power cables and 2 network cables — one set per charging point.

Exceptions

• Veton® Two (socket): 2 power cables and 3 network cables from the component box to the charger.
• Veton® Wall Plus (socket version): one charging point, 1 power cable and 2 network cables from the component box to the charger.

Size the conduit for these counts when the foundation or wall opening is prepared. Wire sizes and breakers depend on the charging power, the run length and local code. The installing electrician confirms the final sizing.

What should be prepared before installation?

• Parking position and cable reach (around 4 metres for integrated-cable models).
• Indoor location for the Veton® component box, with power and network feeds.
• Conduit route between component box and charger (max 100 m), with the right cable count for the chosen model.
• Electrical capacity and load balancing requirements.
• Foundation or wall mounting position.
• Network or platform requirements, if connected charging is needed.
• Material finish, chosen with the exterior.
