Installing vehicle charger

[Ziggie]

If you can install in a detached garage, then you can use the house earthing system (PME). Wishful thinking ! Can you install it inside the garage and run charging cable through the wall or can you install it on the outside wall of the garage?

out side the garage , are you planning the to install a charging point to the garage.

The vast majority of charging points now come with built in OpenPen protection and are suitable for connecting to a PME supply, whether inside or outside.

In any case, it's the location of the vehicle that matters, not just the charge point. If the the vehicle is to only ever be charged inside the garage, then no further consideration is needed (according to the regulations).
If however, the vehicle is to be charged outside, then further consideration is needed. For example, Open Pen protection as mentioned above.

Thanks - I had seen a referral about what you mentioned - I’m skimming the IET manual
Thanks for the reply
