Hello folks.
I am about to complete on a (detached) house purchase and I want to ask your advice whether to have three phase connected to the house and possibly whether I can have it connected for free.
I plan to have two Zappy EV chargers installed with them both charging at the same time overnight when electricity is cheaper.
I also want solar panels and a battery solution and I could potentially be charging the battery at night as well.
I know that there are load balancers for EV charging, but it’s probable that I will want to charge both EVs at the same time in the 4 hour Octopus Go cheaper tariff window.
I am thinking that I probably need three phase to cope with this load. Have I got this right?
Also the house is looped.
What I am hoping is that an application to install the two car chargers and battery will mean that the DNO consider that I will need three-phase and will install that FOC while delooping the house. What, in your experience, are the chances of this happening?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
