BS1363 Socket for 10A EV Charger on TN-C-S

[Mark.fardon]

No doubt been done to death..Ive steered clear of EV charging to date..but.. scenario is block paved drive, TN-C-S, customer just wants an outside socket to plug the lead from his soon to be delivered hybrid. Undertood to be a 10A slow charger. Doesn't want the expense of a dedicated charging point. But 722 precludes the use of a socket FCU'd or spur off the ring main as not a dedicated final circuit for the charge point. (IP65 13A socket outlet). And then you run into the PME earthing issue. How many of you would just put an IP65 socket on the wall for him (properly, from an RCD albeit AC type) ?

if the customer decides he wants it doing then what's stopping him from plugging in the house like some people trying to save money . his live .
