I posted recently about getting a chargepoint fitted and am working through all the questions on a fitting company’s online form.
As is often the case, my own supply looks nothing like their diagrams. I seem to not have a looped supply - there is just one (giant) cable coming through the floor - and a 100A main fuse, so I suppose all good so far.
However there seems like a lot of junk and complexity (DNO responsibility I suppose) and no isolator for the CU - something the chargepoint fitter seems to specify, even though fairly recent electricians have not seemed to have any problem with that.
I am wondering if now might be the time to have a smart-meter fitted and if it would be a normal request for an isolator to be fitted at the same time? I’m also assuming the (DNO) fitter would remove the existing junk?
I’m attaching some photos - so comments would be very welcome, particularly if you see anything that might cause problems.
