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?

    The problem is Harry, is that there are too many cooks. The procedure for any additional load/alteration is you consult with the local DNO. I have seen over the last 10 years or so everybody and his dog give their two pennith. The wiring regs are always years behind, as seen when the 16th ed came out, perfectly normal installations became "special" The avalanche of guide books, City and Guilds courses, trade associations, the list is endless. My company connect a greater part of the 4000 installations every month of the DNOs, working to their strategy which has evolved over many years. John Peckham hasn't got the detailed info, all we have is these meaningless "codes" set by yet another outfit, "The office of low Emission Vehicles" I would want to see the evidence to make a decision.
