EV Charging using 13amp external socket outlet

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

For an external socket outlet to be used as a dedicated EV charging point, what are the earthing arrangements ? Given it will be RCD protected. I assuming this socket outlet will be considered as an EV Charging point under the regs.

Is mode 1 not allowed in the UK anymore? I read this in an article done by IET Wiring matter "According to a note in IEC 61851 Mode 1 charging is not permitted in the UK". If so why is it still in the regs?

Thanks.

There’s a Tesla adapter for every location.

The Mobile Connector, previously known as the Universal Mobile Connector (UMC) is a backup cable that all Tesla drivers should carry with them at all times in their car, it allows you to plug into any domestic socket as well as more industrial or campsite style power, as well as connect to other charging cables for extended reach or charging in other EU countries. This visual guide just goes a bit further than Tesla’s support page.
