Hi, any advice appreciated!

Best location on porch side for an EV charger? Area between tap and meter box probably not possible due to meter box door clearance seen in 2nd pic.

Cheers!
 
Depending on the manufacturer, and the physical size of the unit itself... and whether its a tethered lead or just a socket on the charger.... it could fit above the meter box.... in-between the bottom of the window and the meter door clearance or above the tap.
Is it even possible to go on the fron wall next to the door?

If it was mine I think I'd put it between downpipe and window, high enough so dont have to stoop far and cable doesn't interfere with tap when wound up (Tethered version).
 
Appreciate the info!

Having the tap shifted to either of the 2 spots below (right spot has enough clearance with gas meter door), would really appreciate your opinion on where you would shift it! Do care about looking decent with placement with charger and tap near each other so am leaning to the right spot but open to suggestions.

I don’t think it’s worth the effort, perfectly fine with EVCP above it. It hardly notices.
But
If you feel you must …… nearer the drain and down pipe.

Appreciate that pal, just thought it would be super tight height wise from the tap to the bottom of the window sill... For future proofing don't want to have to limit the charger to a mini one, rather have more options!
