Hi everyone,
First post so please be gentle. I am not an electrician and have very little knowledge when it comes to electrics.
I’m thinking of replacing my ICE with a BEV when my company car renewal is due (a couple of months) and one of the requirements of my employer is that to have a BEV you must have a home charger installed.
My meter and consumer unit are both under the stairs in the middle of the house I.e. not near an external wall, I don’t think that will be an issue though as I have power to the detached garage and also various outside lights.
What is concerning me though is that my electrics look very old fashioned! Will they be able to support a charger install?
I’m in the process of moving to Octopus and then will apply for a smart meter but in the meantime have attached some photos.
Would any of you experts be able to comment on my set up?
Thanks in advance!
