I have a customer who is having Pod Point install one of their chargers at a car port, some distance from the house.

SWA (10mm2) for the supply will be run to a small consumer unit at the car port, with the Pod Point installed adjacent.
A 2-core cable is also required to connect the Pod Point to an energy clamp back at the house intake.

Pod Point have specified a 7-2-2C PVC screened cable as suitable for the energy clamp - but this would need to be run e.g. in conduit.

The route is partially under the lawn, and ideally this 2-core cable would be an SWA type in the same trench.
Is there an armoured version of the above cable, or can someone recommend a suitable type?

I'm tempted to just suggest 1.5mm2 standard 2-core SWA, but I've no idea how critical the screening is.
Nor if Pod Point would throw a wobbly when they turn up if the cable is a bit bigger than they expect, with SWA they can't terminate.
 
The above cables look interesting, but don't go above 6mm2, and unfortunately the cable needs to be 10mm2 for (voltage drop).
 
BS 5308 part 1 type 2.

Screen pairs in SWA.
