Electric vehicles are starting to penetrate into the domestic market now
In places like the USA and Australia the voltage used most commonly is 240v @ 50A.
This is not exactly a small amount of power.

So how do you see this impacting electrical business ?
Many households could well need upgrades to accomadate such loads.

True smaller chargers are available,
But at present the fast chargers are more popular.

How many sparkie's have had to instal EV charge stations ?
How did it go ?
 
They're easy to install, a few regs to apply that aren't your normal run of the mill install. There's also a form to send to the DNO informing them that there's a ev charger installed. Some are heavy load, but the best ones you can set it to charge on a timer, ideally the middle of the night.
