@kezo Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. The first paragraph I am afraid just goes over my head but if the DNO sort it all good. Yes the green/yellow earthing cable goes to the pipe connected to the gas meter in the garage and presumably the bare wire to the water pipe inlet. The two silver clad boxes – one is for electric shower and the other is for the light switch for the cupboard under the stairs where the electric meter is. No idea why 2 Wylex fuse boxes. Not had economy 7. Maybe previous owner had it. So all things considered I think it’s quite positive if we can find a car suitable to my wife’s needs. As you said I will know more when a survey is done and take it from there. Thank you once again you are a star
If you were to go electric and the survey pick up your Wylex boards need changing, tell them you just want them to fit the charger with a dedicated consumer (part of the install) and you will get them looked at once everthing else is in order and any DNO minor works done. Ohme or rather their contractors will charge you a small fortune to undertake a consumer unit upgrade. You will get a far better price from a local electrician and dare I say it a better job done! As for bonding what we assume to be the main water inlet, its up to you if you had it done at time of having the charger fitted or call a local sparky and save a few bob. Neither here or there though. I won’t be far off the ball park with what I said and from looking at the photo however, you can request an in person survey prior to ordering an EV with Motability. The aim is not to get ripped off! If your local I don’t mind taking a closer look if you wanted ?
Thanks again @kezo I will request a survey probably in January prior to ordering if we find a suitable EV and take on board what you have said.
We are in the North West between Liverpool and Manchester so I don’t know if that’s local to you.
