NON COMPLIANT NEW EV INSTALLATIONS

John Peckham
I was sent some information from the ECA concerning an audit undertaken by the Office of Low Emission Vehicles.


The sites inspected were those installed by "qualified" and "registered" installers claiming the OLEV subsidy.


0.8% were found to be dangerous (C1), 19.6% Potentially Dangerous (C2) and 25.6% requires improvement (C3). That makes 46% of new EV installations by qualified and registered persons to be non-compliant.


Am I the only person who thinks this is an utter disgrace?

    One of my recent customers had an existing 1.5mm SWA to their garage on PME  and 16A breaker, all in Memera2000, all without access to any CU tails or cable terminations. He was advised by his EV installer "just get your electrician to swap the breaker.." and he'd be back and ready next week for the grant-subsidy install on the garage wall (outside). 


    3 days hard work and a bill six times what the customer wanted to pay for his subsidised EV charger got it sorted and ready for the easy bit to be bolted on. So it doesn't surprise me at all. Maybe I should buy a ticket to OLEV install land £££.
