I note that the outdoor meter cubicle, sometimes referred to as a Pirelli box, is fast becoming a location for a small consumer unit to provide a supply to an EV charger in domestic premises. As I understand it, the box belongs to the householder so it would seem that providing DNO equipment is not compromised, there is no reason why this cannot be done?
Is the meter box designed to be opened twice daily and are the DNO contents suitably IP rated?
Isn't it just an additional CU for the EV that's in the meter box - not the charge point itself?
box belongs to the householder
True, but the householder will usually have a contract with the supplier - which typically means they've agreed to leave the interior of the box free for DNO/supplier equipment (even if it was only in very small print in the current connection conditions on a web site somewhere).
