Advice on new home EV charge point install.

[Oldfriend]

Hi all,































































New ill ( not used yet) of 7.5kw EV charge point.



















New house consumer unit fitted 6months ago and fitted with 16mm tails as the main fuse was 80amp.



Electric company then come to visit to see if the installation is OK for an EV charge point.



They stay yes it is, but the main fuse is changed up to a 100amp. Seems odd to me!



Then the guy comes to fit a new small consumer unit that has surge protection and a double pole B40 circuit breaker.



They use 10mm tails to supply this unit connected just after the meter. (NOT from the house consumer unit). Just after the 100amp fuse.



The sticker on the side of their newly fitted consumer unit says there is an rcd inside that needs tested monthly, BUT there is no rcd here.

Is this the correct installation.

A few things seem very wrong to me.

Any constructive advice would be good.

Do you have an installation certificate?

Perhaps some images of charge point and new board might help in determining whether any issues exist. Lack of RCD protection in board isn't necessarily an issue, provided cable used is suitable for the installation and charge point provides its own earth leakage protection.

Not that I know of, but it's a friend of mine that had it installed. I will need to ask them at some point.

It's in preparation for getting an EV car next year. The people they are getting the car from are assisting with the installation of the charger.

Here are some picsI don't have any pics of the actual charging point that has been fitted in thei.r garage

The 10mm tails are ok, are you sure it’s a double pole Mcb, not an rcd or rcbo?

It iarmoured cable that has been used from the new consumer unit to the garage. Not sure what section it is though.
