I am not an electrician but understand the reasoning. I have a 7kW charger (which generally runs full load for a continuous 5 hours...

    EV charger cable in wall cavity

    I would like to hide the cable to an EV charger. The consumer unit, meter cabinet and charger would all be on the same wall. About 5 metres from the charger to the meter box or 6m to the CU.
