That is exactly how mine is wired. Just had a letter from the local power supplier who want to do an inspection.
That's a new one. Where does the breaker box actually sit? Would it be on the tails from the meter before they enter into the consumer unit in the external meter box?
Curious.
Well actually, my main concern with that installation linked to above is with the earthing. It's an external charging point and isn't part of the PME in the house itself, so where's the earth happening?
Erm. Hey , I'm no expert but if you scroll back a bit and take a look at the document I linked to published by the institute of electrical engineers regarding earthing requirements on external installations for electric vehicles (top of page 2)
It does appear to be open to interpretation somewhat.
I enquired about getting a supply for my garage - which is down the road from the house and does not have any power at present. The cost of installing was a deal breaker (got to close the road and dig it up apparently) so I have not proceeded. But the local supply co. (Western Power) did tell me that all new installs will be 3-phase, with only 1 phase connected if that is all you need. But 3 phase will be there for future proofing - specifically to deal with car charging.
If the road is to be closed for other reasons I can get a price reduction which I may well take up. It would still be a large one-off cost - but one that you will get over and myself and future residents will appreciate for a long time to come.

This is the response to the lack of an PME earth rod for PodPoint chargers (the one in the photo example).
