Who are UK EVSE?! Is it a government or regulatory body, or just self appointed. That reads like self-interested protectionism, although I'd be happy to be proved wrong?!

Don't think Kevin is sharing it on a forum to avoid feedback, to be fair.

 

[Paul]

Not an expert, but with regards to the above concerns, see also "fair dealing"...

Knowing now they're not an actual "standards" organisation of some sort, it just seems very odd indeed, and how veiled and vague is the tone too?!

 

[Paul]

Aaand, even if it was, about 30 seconds in there's a safety message, and more to follow too!

discussed issues with the Sunday Times today

You do know it's Monday?

How is DIY EVSE any different to B&Q selling a 9.5kW shower to anybody who would like to buy one? It says under additional info, 'Easy to install'!

The high power shower lobby clearly haven't got as organised as the EVSE lobby yet.

 

[Paul]

Stupid question, probably already answered.

How do you plug your EV into said "commando sockets"?

Still such a newbie!

 

[Paul]

A lead with a commando plus on the end and the evse in the middle with a type 1/2 cable on the other end the DIY evse video shows what Paul has

Someone posted a command > three pin adapter on here I think, would that be OK? I'm kind of thinking about camping holidays and such, we have the standard LEAF EVSE so three-pin only.

 

[Paul]

32A to 3 pin socket lead would work for using EVSE brick at 10A for overnight charge.......

Do you have a link/more information as to where I could acquire such a thing? Thanks!

 

[Paul]

THIS IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR TRICKLE CHARGING VIA THE EVSE BRICK (10A)
32A Commando: LINK
3 pin waterproof socket: LINK
H07 1.5mm Waterproof Rubber Cable: LINK

If you can wire a 3 pin plug, which one of them is, you should be working out the Commando!

If you really do want someone else to make it for you; these people will: http://essentialsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/ho7cable.html?gclid=CPPzlIjn4r0CFbLMtAodW2kAeg

Thanks, I'll manage.



I hope.



Or most likely try to avoid the need, but you never know, I'm not very good at not tinkering.

Good read, well written.
