Hi All,

Since EV is going to be something common soon, perhaps in the next 5 years (sooner/later) - does it make sense to prepare a charging point for the EV at your renovation stage?

What kind of setup should it be? 4mm/6mm wire spec?

Since you are home reno now. These are the steps to maximise savings with EV in order

1. Three phase electricity
2. Wiring with outdoor EV charging/wiring ready
3. Buy EV
4. Use normally for minimum 3 months.
5. Use previous 3 months bill (must include EV charging) to apply solar
6. Install solar
7. Enjoy savings

Why this order:
Don't know how much energy you will use and how much solar to compensate. My friend did solar first, bought EV, now regret finding methods to add more panels/solar to cover EV cost...to the point want to install more panels>battery direct EV.

If Solar company allows any placement, then can reno+solar (max capacity) then buy EV. No need to use that 3 month previous average bill. Check NEM3.0 details and packages offered by companies. I use NEM2.0, and that time TNB subsidiary nak 3 months of bill to see capacity
