hi all,

i was directed to this forum by my neighbor seeking some advice and help

at present, I'm having my front garden dug out so I can make a driveway for my mobility car.

i was wondering, one day I will be getting an electric car, so if I have opportunity to lay cable now before they put drive down, I might aswell

so just need to know what type of cable do I need to go from house to sockets that I will eventually get fitted outside on the wall they are going to build to house the driveway.

also will want to fit outside lights on the wall for when I come home in the night and park in drive, I have lights that I can turn on.

just to be clear. I'm not fitting anything at the moment, and when I do I will get a qualified electrician,

just want to know what type of cable or cables I can lay now whilst garden has been dug up

1. for outside power sockets in case I want to hoover car and want a plug outside
2. in anticipation for electric car so a socket to charge car
3 to power lights on all

the reason I want to know now is so I can find a cable now and look around for a deal

thankyou all

I'm so sorry everybody for not replying earlier I've not been well and this virus is not helping with me trying to get the doctors anyway I just need to just confirm I understand now that I'm not going to have to put the cable in yet but I should put the ducting in so just need to confirm exactly how much millimetre ducting I have to put in in order for the cabling to be b put in g later. Bearing in mind I need a wire for electrical charging point for car, 2 normal domestic sockets and lights on the wall outside. If somebody can please this explain what really metre ducting I will need each of these cable because I've been on internet looking at ducting and very different sizes
