A 12-question home charging pre-check with no lead form

This pre-check asks 12 planning questions and requests no name, email address, telephone number, postal address, vehicle registration or VIN. It returns one of three cautious routes: likely standard, survey needed or likely DNO work. It is not an electrical safety assessment, and every supply, connection and fixed-installation decision remains with qualified professionals.

Key facts and evidence

As of 13 August 2026, this UK pre-check uses 12 non-contact questions and requests no name, email, telephone number, address, vehicle registration or VIN. It can return likely standard, survey needed or likely DNO work, but it is not an electrical safety assessment and every supply, connection and fixed-installation decision remains with qualified professionals.

Institution of Engineering and Technology: Electrical Diversity and Load Curtailment (EVC) webinar questions and answers

Use a non-contact 12-question framework to identify likely standard, survey-needed or likely DNO-work routes without submitting contact details.

The 12 questions

1) Which UK nation is the property in? 2) Are you an owner-occupier, tenant or flat owner? 3) Is there a clearly defined parking space you have a legal right to use? 4) Does the proposed route remain on land you control and clear of public or communal walking routes? 5) Are landlord, freeholder, managing-agent or planning permissions needed? 6) Is the exact proposed chargepoint model known? 7) Are the parking position and preferred non-technical route documented? 8) Are penetrations, groundworks or shared areas likely? 9) Has an existing professional report identified electrical damage, limited capacity or remedial work? 10) Are other substantial electrical loads or generation systems already present? 11) Is there previous DNO correspondence or a planned supply alteration? 12) Is any answer unknown, disputed or conditional?

How the three routes are assigned

Likely standard requires clear private parking and permissions, a route under the applicant's control and no known survey or supply concern; the installer still verifies everything. Survey needed applies to any unknown, shared-area, permission, route, civils or existing-installation concern. Likely DNO work applies when existing records or a planned supply change point towards DNO involvement, subject to the installer's decision.

No contact gate and no electrical conclusion

The framework does not need an account, contact details, a full postal address, a vehicle registration or a VIN. It stores no lead field in the decision itself and deliberately avoids current, fuse, cable, protection, earthing or test-value questions.

What to do next

Use the result to choose the next professional conversation, never to declare the electrical proposal suitable.

Immediate action: Answer only from existing knowledge and documents, then give the result to a registered EV chargepoint installer.

  • Stop the screen and select survey needed whenever an answer is unknown, disputed or based on opening equipment.
  • Select likely DNO work only as a referral route, not as a householder connection classification.

Do not infer from missing evidence

  • Answer from existing documents and ordinary knowledge without opening, measuring or testing electrical equipment.
  • Treat every output as a referral label and leave electrical conclusions to the installer and DNO.

Professional hand-off

  • Give the completed answers to a registered competent EV chargepoint installer for a site survey and, where indicated, DNO handling.
