I'm obviously still new and learning about what I can and cannot do, but essentially I want to install an EVSE at my own house for an electric van, I intend to run a 6mm T&E in surface trunking/clipped direct, through a drilled hole in the wall and then out a wiska box through some flexible conduit into an EVSE of my choice.
Currently I'm looking at the brand new Project EV Apex untethered charger, it has a type A RCD built in, I know if the cable is buried less than 50mm from the surface it needs to be RCD protected, but does surface cabling have this same requirement (even being T&E) or can I avoid the selectivity issue (and mainly the extra cost of procuring RCBOs for my obsolete CU) of doubling up the RCDs and just install a 32a MCB and DP 45a cooker isolator on the wall where I drill through? Or do I need to run it in SWA for 2 to 3 times the the price?
