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?

    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.

    Around here the DNO do not connect any new installations, they run the supply in, then metering services install the meter and an isolator.


    It is then the responsibility of the customer’s electricians to connect the new installation to the isolator and if the electrician also connects the consumer’s installation to an earth terminal installed by the DNO the electrician has to take responsibility for testing it and ensuring it will provide an appropriate means of earthing for the consumers installation.


    The DNO and metering services assume no responsibility for connecting new installations to the network and definitely do not assume any responsibility for ensuring that the means of earthing is okay.
