Outdoor meter box

lyledunn
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?

    On my travels around England and Wales I have only seen one specialist second hand EV dealer.


    But there’s lots of dealers selling high powered upmarket petrol and diesel cars that a now getting quite old, but are in immaculate condition for £6k to £10k, slap dome cheap personalised plates on them and they look very impressive, so I’m not really sure there is much of a secondhand EV market yet.


    Installation of an EV charger at home is an investment, not an expense unlike the fuel or electricity used to run a car you will still have the charger next week, indeed you will still have it for many years to come.
