TESLA CHARGER 3GEN ADVICE PLEASE

[Mephisto]

Hello guys.
I need to install a Tesla charger 3 gen for Tesla Y. My Client has 1 phase installation. I will install CU with SPD and PME fault detector. Could you please tell me what size of cable I should use for this charger point?
Thanks for any advice.

Might need to provide more information if wanting someone to calculate cable size on your behalf.

The length of the cable will be 6 meters in conduit. I will install a separate CU with spd. There is 1 phase with 100A main fuse.

I'd leave this question to the electrician who will be installing your wall connector. Installation in conduit is certainly one option, but it may be that your electrician would intend using a cable type suited to the installation conditions, without the need for external protection, allowing for reduction in cable size.

In case you're not aware, there's a whole Code of Practice that needs to be adhered to when installing an EV charge point. There are many other factors to be considered other than cable size and protective device rating. Also a new circuit and a new consumer unit are both notifiable to building control. And the DNO needs to be notified that a new charge point has been installed. And a whole section, 722, in the wiring regulations is dedicated to EV charge point installation.

If you are aware, please ignore this.

If you dont know what size cable you need to use you should not be fitting an EV point
