What are your thoughts on outdoor consumer units for EV?

Hi people,

Just wanted to know what everybody’s thoughts are on small outdoor consumer units for EV chargers?

Some are saying that they aren’t good because you get condensation build up in them and terminations rust corrode etc after a few years and they don’t last.

Do you fit them?

Yes, not specifically for EV chargers (yet) but for other applications.
Never had a return visit due to corrosion/condensation or life span! or anything actually.

The sun is more likely to cause problems than rain.

I would install an external surface meter box if I was to go that way.
