Just wondering if anyone has any experience of an installation on a wall made of slate stone (obviously not flat).
I'm looking at either an EO Mini Pro V2 or a Sync EV unit and wondered if it is possible to have them mounted on something not too flat.
Also would like the installation to be rear mounted rather than have a cable coming up through the bottom of the unit.

Anyone had anything similar?

If the wall is very uneven then you’ll probably need to fix a backing board first onto the which the charger can be fitted. The plastic cases of most EVSEs would either twist or possibly crack if tightened onto an uneven surface, which would compromise the moisture ingress protection.

Probably best to instal a post independent of the stane **** and attach the charger to the post.

The word that I used that has been auto asterixed is the word used in Holland to describe the walls that hold back the sea and is also used to described stone walls PC gone mad.

Maybe a metal-cased EVSE such as Viridian? No idea where the mounting holes or wiring holes are though!

The word that I used that has been auto asterixed is the word used in Holland to describe the walls that hold back the sea and is also used to described stone walls PC gone mad.

They also don't like the word to describe a rough calculation - 'back of a 'cigarette' pack' - which is another potentially non PC word in another context.

But on the question posed I would suggest that all things are technically possible but usually involve a session of sucking of teeth by a contractor followed by a very high quote. In this instance, it's the back entry requirement that could cause problems. Especially if the slate wall is a few hundred years old.

In any case, a hole in the wall where the box is to be sited would have to exit inside the house in a position that passes a partners' normally strict test over aesthetics. And then enable a satisfactory aesthetic route to the CU or meter box. If that permission is granted, I would then suggest that you should carry out that work yourself. Drill a suitably sized hole for a cable, and then mount a plate outside ready to accept the charger unit and turn it into a standard installation. Leaving that access and pre-mounting work to the installer could result in quite a few hundred pounds being added to the bill.

Again, all things are possible - just at a cost.
