Who is responsible for non compliantbev install

EICR on 3 year old house thats a rental property. C2 because ev charger is sharing an rcd with other circuits in a split load board.Complied with how many organisations interpreted the regulations at the time of design.

No.high integrity ways available, only practical solution is replace the board or additional board for the ev charge point. Could consider rebuilding the internals of the existing cu, but still time consuming and fairly expensive.

Just generally interested in how the as long as it complied at the time approach works.

Who is responsible for the costs?

  • Hi 

    Just to confirm that as Soarky Chip says my main concern about the shared rcd is 5mA from the EV plus 5mA of dc leakage from other circuits equals 10mA on the shared rcd, if its a type A it may not trip.

    Given that many houses now have ev chargers  induction Hobs  air con units etc this and higher can easily occur. I am fairly sure NAPIT would recommend C2 for this.

  • Also it's becoming quite common practice to game the cheap energy tariff by having one car on a proper ev charger and  a second in a granny charger.
