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.

    Indeed Andy, I wish they would leave things be. I posted the experienced worker NVQ in the wiring regs forum because that is where the greatest response was likely to have come from. Was it related to 7671? Well yes in very many ways but perhaps not obvious to the moderato. Perhaps they should ask for justification before moving, or just accept that effectively the wiring regs forum is a general catch all.
