Something to be said for just putting Petrol, diesel and other hydrocarbons into vehicles via equipment and electrical installations developed overtime from 1928 and we dont have very many electric shocks, fire, and explosions on traditional filling stations. In 2022 the "Pressure" to shift to Electric vehicles and charging them up via EVSE suddenly becomes very complex, and with the "Competency" levels of contractors/tradesmen out there just now and clients just looking for the cheapest install, and people thinking installation of EVSE is easy then I can see unfortunately a few incidents are going to happen.......................... There is some real electrical engineering talent on this forum and reading the detail in replies below there are "Polite" statements over what is correct and safe in both theory and practice and application of the correct regulations and engineeringa and installation practices. So if the talent on this forum cant 100% agree there is no chance for the joe bloggs ordinary electrical contractor getting it right is there? E.G what did the survey for the installation of EVSE and location of the pillar and equipment highlight or say, or is the concern only coming up all too late at commissioning and certification?.
