just figured it seemed logical to turn it off, but then again I don’t suppose someone is going to park on my drive for several hours using my electricity? Don’t plan on isolating using the circuit breakers as they aren’t designed for that, a key seemed a sensible step? Happy to take some guidanceSorry, can't help with answering the question, but can you humour me and say why you want one? It's your time and money, but I have never understood the benefit.
A quick Google gives me an MCB with a mechanical switch life of 20,000 cycles. It'll generally only be switched off with non load, so electrical doesn't matter (and was the same for the one I found anyway).Don’t plan on isolating using the circuit breakers as they aren’t designed for that, a key seemed a sensible step?

I'm naturally worried about theft, but as you say - who's going to park on your drive for hours to steal your 'leccy, and even if they do it doesn't cost you enough to justify the cost and hassle of fitting and using the lock. It is more likely to go wrong and prevent you using the charge point than the mythical scrote.just figured it seemed logical to turn it off, but then again I don’t suppose someone is going to park on my drive for several hours using my electricity?
