EV Charging using 13amp external socket outlet

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
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.

    Do we see piles of dead bodies on caravan sites by B.S. 4343 unshuttered sockets? They have been successfully used for years.


    I will use 553.1.5 (iii) get out of jail card and use a B.S. 4343 socket for heavy loads to reduce risks. Along with 133.1.3.


    Common sense must be used in such circumstances.
