EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

[hyeung]

Give it 12 months this isnt going to be an issue as the new generation of chargers such as the podpoint solo are now coming out which can be used on a PME supply with no rod required. uses a mix of DC monitoring and a mains tails clamp to assess loads etc..

Don’t need to wait 12 months, the new Zappi already handles it on pme..

Hi,

We had a EV charger installed recently over the past day ie 32amp 7.2kw. In the fuse cupboard I’ve attached before and after photos.
I have a 100amp fuse for the house.

For the new EV board setup, should the 2 grey cables entering the EV board (10mm) be the same 25mm thickness as the other cables?

Would this cause any issues for me? Or is this against certain electrical standards?
Someone mentioned to me if I was to change the meter or DNO were to action any new improvements, that I’d have to get these 10mm cables changed before any work would be carried out in the future?

I have yet to settle on the work, so if there’s non standard work complete here due to this, I would be in a position to highlight and query the relevant electrical company. I would appreciate any advise?

Please excuse, as my knowledge in electrical stuff is non existent. It maybe that all is looks fine, and I’ve been given wrong advise.

Regards,
HY

Why is two earth cables going straight to charger? The other one should be going to your MET in the fuse board!

I think one earth does go to the Wylex board - behind the tails.

Mind you it was 4 years ago so let's hope so!

I hope you are correct, and the line and neutral are hiding it
