Who is impacted by the regulations?

The incoming Smart Charge Regulations impact the entire industry, as they will change the way that EV charging is managed across the country, but charger manufacturers, distributors and installers will be impacted most directly. 

However, it’s important to note that the rules apply to those selling devices to the end-user, which could include others who don’t traditionally see themselves in one of these categories, such as car manufacturers who include charging devices with the sale of their vehicles

These rules apply only in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Charge point sales in Northern Ireland are not currently covered by the regulations.
