When put into maths it requires a stupid low Ra value which cannot in reality be sustained.Why not the supplementary earth rod path?
That's my understanding?

Yes we did some calcs at college when we did the course. It was nigh on impossible. I think 3 earth rods 1 meter apart 2.4 meters deep might do it. Depending on resistivity of the earth.When put into maths it requires a stupid low Ra value which cannot in reality be sustained.

[/QUOTE]I dont think the maths is the same.
When PME and using a supplementary earth rod it takes into account the max current of the installation and this is put into the equation which brings up a low Ra value.
These are not my suggestions, they are what I was taught on the City & Guilds course in EV charging that I did. I dare say that anyone else who has completed the course would have been taught the same.
If these 'suggestions' amuse you, why not e-mail Bill Allan of NAPIT and laugh loudly at him while you tell him that you know more about EV charging than he does. Meanwhile, kindly desist from trying to me appear foolish. Fair enough?

if the prohibition of PME for EV chargers is to eliminate risk if the supply N is lost (as with metalclad caravans) the I can't see any reason to differentiate between inside or outside. a fault occuring would have a similar result, in or out. then, i have not done any research on EV so my knowledge is limited.
