    EV Charger reporting PEN Fault

    This is a baffling fault I've been fighting with for a couple of weeks now, so I wondered if another set of eyes will help. I installed an EV Charger a few weeks back, and all went well for a while, then the client called me to say it wasn't charging randomly. Resetting it brought it back to...

    No space on CU for Wall Charger connection

    I want a wall charger installed but there is no space on the CU. Attached are photos of the CU, Fuse, etc cupboard and panned out view of the cupboards.
