    Because logically that means it is not possible to install a three phase EV charger on an UK domestic property and fully comply with BS7671.


    Isn’t about time that the wiring regulations committee and manufacturers along with other interested parties actually started to design a three phase domestic electrical installation along with the required equipment, making sure that in new build houses and major refurbishments of domestic properties the electrical installations are really fit for purpose?


    I am not saying you cannot currently source suitable equipment, but I think you will fail to comply to BS7671 by installing three phase distribution boards in domestic properties.


    If I need to get the service cable replaced to have an EV fast charger at home it makes sense to switch to three phase, but actually selecting an appropriate distribution board to use as a consumer unit is not as straightforward as it should be.
