Cart before the horse? (EV charging)

AncientMariner

Am looking at replacing our 1999 diesel engined car ideally with an EV.

Would obviously want to charge with a 7 kW unit so the question is would our existing Grey Series 7 II b cutout with an 80A fuse fitted be capable of 7 kW or only 3.6 kW. 

So before I even look at a car, I really need to know.  Emailed SP Energy Systems “Getting Connected” and get the reply, “Please be advised that when your installer submits the notification form for the charger, the property will be surveyed and anything required will be carried out as part of that.”  Ok then, I buy the car and then find out that I can only charge at the 3.6kW rate. I could of course have a charging point fitted first, but then would not be able to claim any subsidy or dealer offer.

    It is not on anything that I have.

    In 2019, I asked SP, "can you please tell me what the "Agreed Supply Capacity “ (ASC) is and gave both my full address and the MPAN?”

    Their reply (following day): "Thank you for your enquiry. Please be advised that we do not hold capacity information.

    We as the distributor would be responsible for upgrading the supply if this is required.

    An electrician would be able to advise what you have at the moment and if you require an upgrade."
