Currently, I have a side garage port (with a garage door, but open on the garden side) supplied by a 2.5mm2 radial circuit. The plan is to convert the port to a proper garage next year.
As the bedrooms are currently under refurbishment and the floorboards easily accessible, I would like to make the things easier for when I am going to need a car charger, and also I would prefer to have a 32 Amp supply in the garage.
As I understand that a car charger needs 32 Amps, would the best approach be to install a 16mm2 cable from the consumer unit, to which once I have the garage converted to connect a small secondary consumer unit? I was thinking about having the end of the cable protected in a weatherproof box until the garage is done.
