So I don't post here much but I'm feeling a liitle annoyed/abused/p*ss off.
Why is it that as electricians we pay for, and have to have yearly assessments, regulation upgrade courses, insurance etc. Are told that the next technology advancement is the new source of income (solar?) And the answer to all our dreams to make a good living etc. The latest being installation of car chargers, the saviour of the planet, the best thing since sliced bread. Pay for the course, get a certificate. New test instruments needed to do the job, earthing issues, no good for PME, load monitoring blah blah blah. Let's not start on OLEV. Technology catches up yippee maybe this the way to go. Pod point. Project EV etc...
Then the energy supplier gets involved, money to be made, sell to home owner a charger without any any knowledge of thier installation, 60amp incomer, TNS system, no load monitoring, just needs a 32amp commando plug and a few notes for the electrican regarging installation.
No grant, no OLEV notification, eff all.
Why are the regulations, notifications, and who knows what else are put in place and they can be circumnavigated in one foul swoop?
Rant over
