7kW Apartment EV Charger – JVC Parking Case Study
Detailed case study of an apartment parking spot charger setup. Read how we routed LSF cabling and coordinated JVC tower approvals.
Project Photo Gallery
Project summary: Fixer Guy completed a 7kW smart EV charger installation in a residential parking garage in JVC, Dubai. Operating from our Al Quoz base, our teams coordinated with building management to secure the NOC and routed low-smoke halogen-free cabling from the tenant's electrical room sub-meter to their designated parking bay. We mounted a smart app-controlled charger, configured dynamic load management to protect the building DB, and completed the commissioning in four hours, successfully enabling convenient domestic apartment charging. Our certified electricians conducted isolation testing, loop impedance diagnostics, and verified the charging speed on the resident's Tesla Model Y before final handover.
Project Scope & Challenges
The tenant required an EV charger in Basement Level 2, but their apartment's electricity meter room was located on the Ground Floor. Routing cables through several utility shafts required fire-stop seal penetration clearances and 65 meters of fire-resistant cabling.
Solutions Implemented
Our specialized apartment crews implemented several key steps:
- Strata Clearance: We prepared standard RAMS and method statements to secure tower FM approvals.
- LSF Cabling: We routed 65 meters of low-smoke zero-halogen cabling along communal building trays.
- Lockable Enclosure: We mounted the 7kW wallbox inside a lockable steel cabinet to secure access.
- Strata Sub-Meter: Installed a digital sub-meter block to verify consumption against building bills.
DEWA Safety Regulations and Electrical Compliance
Any electrical installation drawing from Dubai's main power grid must comply with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) regulations and the BS 7671 wiring standards. High-power appliances like electric vehicle chargers draw continuous current for hours, which can cause significant thermal stress on terminal blocks, main breakers, and power cables. If wired incorrectly, it can lead to insulation degradation, short circuits, or grid phase imbalances.
At Fixer Guy, we ensure compliance by installing dedicated Type A or Type B Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) directly on your main distribution board. A Type B RCD is required for three-phase chargers because standard household breakers cannot detect DC leakage currents, which can disable your RCD protection. We also install dedicated copper earthing rods to verify ground fault pathways, ensuring that any short circuit is immediately diverted to the ground.
Factual JVC Case Study Reviews
"The JVC basement installation was executed perfectly by Fixer Guy. They handled the complex 65-meter vertical run through electrical risers and set up a smart app lock to secure our charger. Brilliant apartment service!"

Safety Compliance & DEWA Regulations
As a professional electrical services provider based in Al Quoz, Fixer Guy strictly adheres to the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) regulations, BS 7671 wiring standards, and local municipality codes. Installing an electric vehicle charging station requires advanced load assessments to prevent main breaker trips, proper grounding/earthing systems, and matching RCD protection breakers (Type A or B depending on charger leakage). Our certified electricians wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and use calibrated testers to verify loop impedance, insulation integrity, and safety shut-off mechanisms. We only source charging equipment that matches local UAE standards (including Type 2 IEC sockets) and coordinate NOC approvals with developers (such as Emaar, Nakheel, and Dubai Properties) and building managements for hassle-free deployments.
