If some EV cars need an AC charger and some a DC charger (as I

You will not be needing or getting a DC charger if you go ahead (or
are eligible to get one at that price). You will be getting a 32A AC
supply.
OK, so presumably at any property where there already such a supply to
the garage (for other purposes/'business'/diy) you could simply use
the existing cable ?.
Or would you run another entirely separate feed ?. Just curious.
We have not done one yet that has not needed a supply back to the main
CU. But these have all been mode 3 (32A) supplies.
I believe the mode 2 (16A) also qualifies for the £500 grant.
Basically a 13A socket on an extension lead will not save you £500.
I'll dig out my course books over the weekend if you want more info.
Trouble is it's a bank holiday week so I have to do 5 day works in 4
days and the schools are open on Monday so every school job we have done
must be completed and signed off by tomorrow night.
Here the schools re-open next Monday for a couple of Inset days and the
kids go back on Wednesday.
On the other hand, we had a long weekend away and so I've just had one
three day week and am now on another - trying to get about four days
worth of hours into each.
