I’m some years off getting an EV, but can I ask a question about the practicalities of charger installation? We have an attached garage that we park the car in, so I would want a wall box charger installed inside there, rather than on an outside wall. The garage has power (wall sockets) but is some distance from the main electric meter. Do you have to have a new hard wired connection all the way from the wall charger to the electric meter? This would be a major problem in my house, as that would mean going through 4 rooms, some of which have 2ft thick stone walls, and I wouldn’t want unsightly trunking on the walls throughout the house. I have two separate fuse boxes and one is a much shorter distance from the garage. Would they be able to connect to that, rather then the main meter?
It would depend on the quality of the connection between the first and second fuse boxes. To safely carry such high current it’ll need to be a pretty substantial cable.
The best advice would be to get an electrician to come in and have a look, it might cost you for an hour of their time but it’d give you a definitive view on what can or can’t be done.
