As far as I know every house in the road where I live has a looped supply, except one house as when it the houses were being built that single house had a three phase supply installed because the guy buying the house was planning to have a big lathe in his garage. Fifty odd years later that guy has died, but his widow is living in the only house in the road that can have an EV charger installed without having to have a service cable upgrade.
If half the houses need a service cable upgrade, installing a three phase supply to these homes is presumably perfectly feasible.
Sensible chap!
With a looped supply, if you want an upgrade, doesn't your neighbour also need an upgrade as well? And your neighbour's neighbour? And so on?
