This thread shows an interesting perception of risk.
I am not sure that I would agree. What we are looking at is not so much the risk of a fault causing a death but rather the (relatively simple) mitigations that can be put in place to prevent such a death. If it cost £1 billion to prevent each death it can be argued it is not practical. If it cost £10 to prevent each death then it is £10 well spent. Of course the real cost is in between but saying that there are more deaths on the road than would be caused be EV chargers and therefore we are not going to do anything to prevent them is not an acceptable argument (and I am sure that is not what you meant, Roger, but I want to make sure nobody reads it that way).
