@Glos Guy I going to pick daughter up in a bit. I’ll look more in depth when I get back ? You don’t have a smart meter by the looks of it? The service head (black box bottom left of 1st picture) has a 60A cutout, which would require a minor works order to uprate it to 80A or commonly 100A You would also require an 100A isolator installing It is “possible” to come of a consumer unit, providing there is enough spare wares and a double pole RCD is fitted, which you have. However it is better to take a supply and installing adedicated charger consumer unit alongside or extenally. Though this depends on the existing tails fitted, and your whole home electrical demand. More later…
Thanks @kezo. Very little of that makes any sense to me ? but I can confirm that I don’t have a Smart meter. I’d really appreciate a completely non-technical answer! Assume that I know absolutely nothing about electrics, as that’s pretty close to the truth!
If an EV charger can be connected to the second consumer unit box (last photo) then I think it could be workable. Ideally I’d have the charger in the garage, as that’s where I park the car, but if that’s not a workable option then a charge point on the outside wall behind the box in the last photo would be a compromise. Having to take a feed from either the main meter point on the main consumer box would, I think, be very disruptive, especially given the stone walls.
