    Came across this video showing how N-E voltage can rise with a broken PEN conductor and subsequent disconnection of an EV charger

    I've got my worries about using the current through the c.p.c. to trigger a shutdown (>18mA in that example) - how likely is it to false trip in the real world?  I wondering that if the car happens to provide a parallel path to earth say either via wet/muddy/salty tyres or say an open door touching a steel bollard or lamppost - then you'd expect a reasonable amount of PME diverted N currents to flow from the installation/supply via the car's c.p.c. - if the charge point is going to trip out every time that happens they aren't going to be very popular.
