EV voltage drop

There seems to be a standard installation developing for domestic EV charge points where it is 6mm2 no matter what. I checked one installation which will have around 9v dropped on a 7Kw charger. Ok, I acknowledge that the full load current won’t be pulled at all times but it can be assumed that there will be long periods when it will. Multiply that by an ever increasing demand across the nation and we can expect to see considerable energy wastage. Perhaps, we should be setting tighter limits than 5%.
