This technical adaptation ensured the safe and efficient operation of the chargers, enabling the client to charge two vehicles concurrently.

The project saw the installation of two consumer units, each equipped with double pole Type A RCD protection, ensuring enhanced safety and compliance with electrical regulations. Notably, the chargers were configured to work in tandem, preventing circuit overload and facilitating the simultaneous charging of two vehicles.
