    The point I am actually trying to make is that a major shakeup is required, as currently domestic consumer units installed in the UK are barely fit for purpose and the current offering of replacements are not much better.


    If supplies are going to be upgraded to a 100-amp single phase for an EV charger we are going to have to consider the suitability of the existing consumer units for continued use and the installation of the additional circuit.


    If consumers start having three phase supplies installed then there is going to have to be an upgrade of the existing consumer unit or at least some thought put to how it can be repurposed as part of a three phase installation.
