Yeah so with me buying it and paying for the install works out around the same as if I paid the extra and dome the grant, the chap is registered and has they testing equipment and what I meant about the garage cu is that is how it comes, with all that already in, the type A rcd, 40,32,16 and 6...

Yeah so by looks of it , it'll be 40amp mcb ( non rcd side ) in the main, 10mm SWA to a smaller CU in garage that has a 40,32,16,6 mcbs and a A Type RCD the 32 for car 16 for sockets and 6 for lights, 40 won't be used With the grant then does that still work with me buying the charger...

OK that makes sense, so basically the electrician will do all the required stuff, just on the rcd bit, so is it still ok to come of the 32 on the mini consumer or would he need to change it ?

Also I keep seeing "DNO notifiable' Is this something I have to do once its installed or does the electrician do all that? If so do I have to sign something for him ect so I know hes done it ?

Ah ok I see, thank you so I'm going to have Zappi installed and a Harvi hub !? I believe they have RCD and pens protection already built in so no earth spike required either and the hub part can limit the amp draw I think !? So basically if its done with the 40 amp mcb to the garage CU( 10mm...

I'm good for whatever you've got

The price off the shelf at trade basically works out the same as what it would be if I was to claim the money back

Yeah I have sort of, they have just said it would come from its own mini CU or the 32 side of the shared one, I think its more this 40 or 50amp mcb in the main CU and the A type rcd that I'm worrying over that's all

I appreciate everyone has their own way of doing stuff, on the other forum I was told by one he'd would do it totally different to what I had mentioned but why should he offer his advice to me for free!?! I think I just wanted to make sure that either way is safe as I don't want it done one way...

No just a freezer in there on all the time , lights very rarely, garage doors couple times a day and lights on outside are on PIR and only if something comes up the drive, socket outside for hoover or pressure washer when needed, the car will be set to start charging at around 12.30 am till...

I guess so, he came round and had a look at everything and said that's what he would need to do,the car charger company have said their feed will need to come from the 32amp MCB in a smaller CU or have its own CU connected to a minimum of 6mm swa hence why I thought what he had said would of...

Can I just firstly state that I am not connecting or terminating anything, a local Electrician in my village that I know wouldn't say friends but as we work in a small village we both turn up on the same job sites ect we know each other, he has said if I get everything ready for him and...

Glad I'm not having a outside tap fitted then

Hi just wondered if I could have some advice please without having my head bitten off about having power installed I'm my garage, I have posted on another well known forum and have had allsorts of abuse without actually getting any advice so is this forum for DIY or is it just for " qualified...

Hi all, I am wanting a EV charge point installed on my garage, it is detached from the house and I have power run to it already but I wondered if anyone knew what is actually needed to run a 7kw pod, there is SWA running to there, there is no consumer unit in there and my main switch is 100amp...
