Hi,
I started another post regarding portable EV chargers and it raises the question of 13A portable EV chargers and earthing arrangements.
These devices are readily available on Amazon and from EV dealerships. The user can plug-in and charge at around 2.3kW from a 13A socket.
These do not take into account the earthing arrangements, nor do they appear to have PEN fault detection in them (unless this isn’t publicised).
Are they exempt from the regulations because they are “temporary“ and covered by a product standard?
Appreciate there is guidance on EV charging and outlets destine for this use, however this doesn’t take into account the vast majority of users of these plug them in anywhere they like, for instance when they go on holiday.
Thoughts?
