Has anyone seen, let alone read, Amendment 2 of BS7671:2008, which I understand specifically relates to these issues?I'm surprised the guidance is not out there in the regs now EV's are on sale.
Kind Regards, John

It's not really the refuelling system, but the vehicles - all that would be needed would be for the vehicle to be disabled when something was inserted into its filler pipe (very easy to implement), and vehicles are being 'designed from scratch' all the time.No, but if a refuelling system was being designed from scratch, maybe they would be.
I took his point to be that if such measures are (rightly or wrongly) deemed unnecessary with liquid fuel, they would probably also be (again, rightly or wrongly) deemed unnecessary with charging systems. ... unless, that is, you know that it is much more likely that people will 'drive off whilst plugged in' than to drive off with a fuel nozzle still inserted in their vehicle.Not sure I understand your point - surely you aren't saying that because there are no interlocks on petrol/diesel pumps then they shouldn't put them into EV recharging systems, even though we know that without them people will drive off whilst plugged in?

(referring to the prohibition of PME supplies for outdoor car charging) ... particularly given that one imagines that a high proportion of car charging will be related to dwellings!))...An exemption is made for dwellings. None of the following requirements need be applied for the charging point at a dwelling if it is not reasonably practicable to do so. This means that the requirements of this regulation may or may not be applied to a dwelling.
