What Is an MPAN? The Meter Number Behind a UK EV Charger Installation
An MPAN is the 13-digit number that identifies your home’s electricity supply point. Why UK charger installers and the DNO ask for it — and where to find yours.
As an expert in the charging pile industry, EVDANCE has rich experience in the development and manufacturing of intelligent EV charging solutions. This is where we turn our engineering insights into knowledge and share them with the global EV community.

Heat trims EV range mainly through air conditioning and a heat-soaked cabin, not the battery itself. Why short summer trips lose the most, and the habits that protect range.

EV battery repair is specialist work: diagnosis first, then isolation, a module-level fix, rebalancing and testing. And where repair stops.

Autocharge lets a public charger recognise your car and bill your account the moment you plug in — no app or card. How it works, and how it differs from Plug and Charge.

A status is the operator’s last report, not a live camera feed. What each label means, why it can be stale, and how far to trust it.

Yes. A standard 120 V outlet plus the portable cord gives Level 1 charging at about 1 kW, adding 2 to 5 miles of range per hour. When that is enough, and what to check first.

V2G exports your car’s energy to the grid through a bidirectional charger, an export meter and a utility programme that dispatches the car within limits you set.

A scrape under an EV rarely reaches the battery, but a hard underbody strike deserves a check before you charge again. What protects the pack, and what to look for.

OCPI is the open protocol networks and apps use to swap locations, live status, prices and session records — so one app works almost anywhere.

Divide tonight’s energy need by your charger’s power and compare it with your off-peak window. The worked maths for commutes and near-empty batteries.
