EV Mode 2 charging O-PEN

Martin Burton

Why are Mode 2 chargers not required to have O-PEN protection?

    True.

    Appliance not part of the fixed installation, so the earthing arrangement is completely unknown, because they could be plugged into any available socket.

    However according to the Wiring Regulations they should only be plugged into a socket that is marked as being suitable, so if an electrician installs a dedicated 13-amp socket that is marked as being suitable for EV charging, is it permissible to connect it to a TN-C-S earthing system?
