    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Ok just an update on the issue....as I've had pretty good progress as of today. The installer called me today, and the outcome was that he's going to swap the charger unit for me. The options of getting the new zappi v2 charger which works with PME earth without the need of an Earth rod.. -...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    I wrote the EO and advised on my current install via PME earth; and also wanted to clarify their view if it would be possible to get something that would work for me i.e. both indoor and outside charging, whilst charger is located inside the garage. Their response is below, and expected. It...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Thanks for confirming the hazards on the other way ie indoor charger TT earth setup, and where such supply fault occurs. Touch the car would cause shock hazard. With that in mind I understand the risk assessment that was mention (section 6.8 code of practice of EV equip installs) would identify...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Assuming one was to connect to a TT setup for that new EV circuit. With regards to the risk-assessment in accordance with section 6.8 of the Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation....can I ask if there were any obvious issues shown in my recent photos of the garage...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Yeah I downloaded that pdf...intresting indeed. Can I ask, if you had TT earthing which makes it fine for outside. Can you not use this inside? What is the issue with that? The odds/risk are so low, but never the less I wouldn't personally risk it - PME outside charge? Would you? Its more the...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hahah the garage is "sorta" tidy, but only becos I've managed to stack things up on one side of the garage. The other side I use to park the car. In that photo I had to move all the sh*t to the other side.....so they could install the cabling/trunking and the charge unit. I don't think i'm...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    In response I got the following.... "Your understanding of the earthing requirements is correct, if you wish to use your charger to charge the car outside then regulations state the use of a TT earth is required, if the charge point is to be used inside then connection to your house earth is...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hi, I got back in touch with the installer.....and sent the following email: "There is something I was looking to clarify with you in relation to my recent charger installation. As you know the charging unit is located internally in my garage, as my primary intensions will be to charge whilst...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hi, So for point 1; sounds like I'm perfectly fine with indoor charging as it stands. I wasn't sure what you meant by bonding. For point 2; assuming i had the earth rod setup, as per my recent uploaded photos. The only obvious metal areas that come to mind would probably be the gas pipe...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hi, Hmm i'm not sure where to start with all this. There appears to have been a lot of debate on the subject, and some of the discussions i'm not even entirely sure if I fully followed or not? Please correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding. 1) The primarily use of the EVCharger will to...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    So I assume the rod is installed outside, under the ground? I assume simply a connection from this rod is routed and connected to the charging unit inside (replacing the earth of this unit from the PME). Is that right?

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Actually, when the installation team of 2 were out here. I did query about the cabling size to see if there was any possibility in charging the car outside, with the garaged closed (concerned that the cabling would not accommodate?). Installer didn't say or point out this concern; instead is was...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    I do this all the time, for the lawnmower....as I don't have an external socket - use an internal socket connected to an extension reel.

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Would like to know too now! Does it still mean charging the car outside from the inside unit is still a no-no? Again, what are the risks in doing so?

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    To be fair with the installer, it was me that stated that location. As the car charge port is located on the rear left side of the car. So naturally the best place was to have the charger where I've stated. As my car will be parked inside all of the time, this was the deciding factor of having...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Firstly, when I requested the install I obviously didnt know of these requirements on earthing etc. I asked the installer that I wanted the charging unit internally within the garage and also stated on the given location of the unit. The unit sits next to the garage door from the inside. When i...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    This was one of the main reasons why I posted on here, as i'd be more confident in getting the truth than from others without an electrical background....and only knowing some knowledge which is rather dangerous. As I didn't know any better, thought this would be the best course of action...
