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.

    Could the spring loaded cover be considered as a "shutter?"


    B.S. 7671 does not seem to have a definition of a socket "shutter" that I can find.


    Z.




    Not if it's been snapped off. It's really a lid for dust-protection, rather than a shutter.


    Having said that, an interlocked isolator version to BS EN 60309-4 is certainly no less safe than a socket-outlet with shutters.
