Confirm landlord, facilities and parking authority
Authority and access are confirmed before the electrical scope is defined.
Commercial parking and electrical coordination
Electric vehicle charging points for shopping centres
EV charging points at a shopping centre affect more than a parking bay. The electrical scope must be coordinated with property authority, available supply, distribution, protection, isolation, cable routes, accessibility, civil work, metering, payment or network systems and ongoing operational responsibility.
Plan from evidence
The charger, vehicle and property must work together.
A shopping-centre rollout may begin with one or more bays, but present equipment and possible expansion should be considered together. Wesslink defines the electrical installation scope while charger hardware supply, civil works, connectivity, payment platforms and vehicle support remain separately confirmed responsibilities.
A charger rating does not prove the property can supply that rate or that the vehicle can accept it. Final scope follows assessment and the manufacturer information for the intended equipment.
Assess supply, distribution route and potential load management
The existing installation is assessed rather than assumed suitable.
Separate electrical, civil, charger, network and payment-system scopes
Responsibilities and next steps are recorded for the actual property.
Electrical assessment path
Define a safe, property-specific route.
Record the vehicle, charger model, data sheet and intended charging use.
Assess phase, supply, capacity, distribution board, earthing and existing protection.
Plan circuit route, cable management, isolation, environmental exposure and parking position.
Confirm authority, separately responsible work and any required completion documentation.
Scope boundaries
Electrical work is one part of the complete charging system.
Charger supply, electrical installation, civil or structural work, connectivity, payment services, utility approvals and vehicle support may involve different parties. Wesslink confirms the electrical scope for the actual site. Equipment compatibility, available capacity, charging time, approval and appointment availability are not assumed.

Questions before installation
EV charger electrical FAQs.
Can an EV charger simply use an existing plug point?
Not automatically. The charger documentation, vehicle, supply, circuit, protection, earthing, cable route and duty must be assessed. A dedicated charging circuit or other work may be required for the actual installation.
How long will the vehicle take to charge?
Charging time depends on the vehicle, its onboard charger, the selected charging equipment, available supply, battery state and operating conditions. It should not be promised from connector appearance or charger rating alone.
What does the electrical assessment cover?
The assessment considers the intended vehicle and charger documentation, phase and supply arrangement, available capacity, board space and condition, protective devices, isolation, earthing, cable route, environment and parking position.
Who must approve the work?
The property owner and any relevant landlord, body corporate, trustees, HOA, facilities team, utility or other authority must be identified for the actual site. Approval requirements vary by property and scope.
What should I send to Wesslink?
Send the exact address, property and parking type, vehicle and charger model or data sheet, intended use, board or supply information if known, authorised contact, access times and safe closed-panel or route photographs.
