EV charger cable in wall cavity

[sl4307]

I would like to hide the cable to an EV charger. The consumer unit, meter cabinet and charger would all be on the same wall. About 5 metres from the charger to the meter box or 6m to the CU. It's an external wall without insulation. Would 6mm NYYJ in the wall cavity be acceptable? It would be resting on the wall ties.

I'm not an electrician and won't be doing the install my self, just looking for opinions. I would fish the cable my self unless the electrician wanted to do that.

It is not permitted to install cables in a cavity wall

Definitely a bad idea.

Any tips for hiding a cable on white pebble dash?

Edmundson do NYY with a light grey sheath (I'm sure other wholesalers do to or can get it), that might not be that obvious?

White conduit on a white wall won’t stick out much

Use SWA low down along the wall.

Use SWA low down along the wall.

Can always paint the swa white, you will hardly notice it.

Saying not permitted is a bit strong.

I usually clip the cables beside a downpipe, they blend in and are not noticed (unless you 'look' for the cable)
