13A EV socket

lyledunn
TNCS system in local development. Second hand BMW 330E Hybrid with ICCB that appears to restrict charging to 6A. Owner wants 13A socket on outside wall of house. 

The area is near the Mourne mountains where an Ra of 200 ohms would be difficult to achieve with a single rod. In any event the driveway has just be nicely finished. It would be a simple matter of drilling through the back of the meter cupboard to provide  the 13A socket but it is the loss of neutral protection that is the problem. Anyone know if loss of neutral protection is available as a separate item?

    Somebody may want a BS 1363 socket outlet installed outside because they want to use it for EV charging. Does that make it an EVCP? 722.55.101.0.201.1 lists such a socket outlet amongst six possibilities; Part 2 has a wide definition of "electric vehicle charging point"; 722.1 makes it clear that intent matters.


    However, the OP simply states Owner wants 13A socket on outside wall of house, which isn't necessarily the same thing.


    There must be plenty of EVs of one sort or another throughout the land that are plugged into perfectly ordinary BS 1363 socket outlets yet we don't hear of any tragedies associated with their use.
