There is a dedicated section in the regs (722) that covers these

61851) that cover EV charging.

You will also need a different type of RCD (a type "A" or "B" rather
than the more typical type "AC") to protect the circuit feeding the
charge point.

The neighbour's unit seems to consist of a DIN rail mounted RCBO,
contactor and control unit.

How come they aren't required to be metal-clad as they're effectively a
1-way CU?

Is it on the outside of the house? (Asked as IIRC the new
"non-combustible" reg. only applies to CUs "within" domestic premises;
but wait for John, Adam et al for a reliable answer.)
