EV charging provision as part of new build planning permission?

You obviously don't live in the south Andy. There are some places where there are many similar together.


However it is not true that DNO cable sizing (and everything else) on new builds is for maximum total demand, The diversity adjusted figure might have crept up a bit but probably not above 2kW. As for the comment by Sparking chip, can you imagine the riots if electricity was switched off to suit the electric vehicle charging of others?: The whole arrangement is so flawed that I wonder at the quality of engineering input to the civil service and Government. In fact I don't because I see the same kind of nonsense in the latest edition of E&T. I have asked who is giving the advice in a number of cases and it is usually considered "confidential". When questioned further and deeper, sometimes with legal paperwork, it becomes clear that the "advisors" have vested interests, particular political views and often come from Universities. Anyone else finds it very difficult to get a word into the place where the policy is made, because we may have a much more pragmatic background with actual experience! You will notice that the BBC keeps getting professors on the news giving views, but in most cases these do not specialise in public health! They parrot the words from the Chief Medical Officer, which is undoubtedly good, but cannot answer a single extra question (although none are usually asked either). Electric everything simply cannot work in this country, but the real question is why is it being pushed so hard? It would be much better to spend the money on medical research and provision than the "Electric future" because at least then all of us would be able to work properly to a good age (more than at present). Anyway it looks as though those wishing to break the world have managed economic disaster in the West, mainly by behaving as though there were no virus and no problem. See the picture of the idiots congregating all over the place over the weekend. You think people will change to have no lifestyle? You will need armed response to get to that place and a police state is not what most of us in Britain want under any circumstances.
