    Plan to offer installation of EV Chargers, but not interested in using Earth Rods. I can only find two products, Zappi and Podpoint. Are there any others? Who would other EV installers recommend?

    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?
