Granny leads usually have RCD/RDC-DD protection built into the bulge in the lead - so nothing extra needed from an EV point of view. As it's plugged into a normal socket, the socket itself would require 30mA A-type or better protection if done to the latest regs.(Can't use AC types any more as there's no means of ensuring that non-resistive appliances could be plugged in), but that's the same regardless whether an EV supplied or anything else.
