NON COMPLIANT NEW EV INSTALLATIONS

Thanks again for the reply, but could you give any links to back up your info, thanks.

Will static charge and common sense not do for now?

Not unless you already add a drain wire when refuelling your conventional car, no !  I realise that when light aircraft bounce onto some airstrips on the edges of the desert a man rushes out to throw a dodgy looking bucket of what we hope is water over the tyres and than clips on his earth leads, before bringing up the fuel bowser, but the capacitance to earth of an aeroplane is much higher as are the chances of tribo-electrioc charging due to high speed.

I'd like to think the normal conductive rubber hoses and so on at the local forecourt that work for normal cars are good enough for refuelling hybrids too. When you are drivign along or just getting in and out, you do not earth the car - I suggest that the charge movement when connecting a non earthed charger is about the same as a bare hand.
