It's very common to install a charger taking the supply direct from the meter box via a secondary box and suitable protection installed within the meter box.

    EV chargers and double pole RCD's.

    So regulation 722.531.3.1 says RCD's shall disconnect all live conductors. Is this requirement met if the charger itself contains a DP RCD? As presumably there is no reason that the installed circuit requires a DP RCD? in fact depending on cable type and install methods the cable may not need...
