"here" not being Bali, I assume ;) ⛱️

That will be a design issue and will depend on length of cable run and fixing method reference method (e.g. whether in free air, buried in plaster or under insulation etc.) as defined in Appendix 4 of BS7671. Other factors will need to be considered such as proximity to other parallel load...

Some vehicle's BMS system will restrict charging when temps are low and SOC are high. Ours did that this week when it was -4C - as the SOC increased above 70% the charge rate dropped - though never stopped.

Oh yes.. the Rachel Reeve's car club scheme 🤑

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: 3 times and counting :)

(y) for the young ones... my back wouldn't cope with that approach though 🤣

IMHO, we are less regulated over here than many other countries (e.g. USA and France)... certainly in terms of electrical work.

Yes, but... this is the sort of English up with which I will not put. (with apologies to Churchill)

I would expect the output of that to be similar to the MG's V2L - i.e. floating earth. So I suspect you'll have the same issue. No (to your question in bold). IMHO the "issue" or rather the "safety check" that is correctly being performed by the vehicle's charger is to make sure an earth...

With mine, it started charging at 7kW and then decreased as the SOC increased. Makes sense but wasn't expecting it.

And don't forget that prepositions should not be used to end a sentence with ;)

Tongue saves on wet-wipe costs.

In the UK, you would effectively need to create a "TT" earthing arrangement - I suspect same down-under but you would need to check local regs. It will require N-E bonding at the source, a suitable earthing rod and then RCD protection of the supplied circuit. Suggest you use a sparky to set...

That's what's good/useful about forums

Best of both worlds... just buy a 3 year old EV ex-taxi and the depreciation will be vastly reduced ;)
