    EV charger loads?

    I have a client who’d like a cable installed in anticipation of an EV charger at some point in the future. No idea what charger it’s likely to be. Thinking of basing cable calculations based on a load of around 7.5Kw. Thoughts?

    Hi folks Trying to make sense of the Regs regarding RCD types for a standard 13A socket intended for electric vehicle charging.
