As long as the cable does not cross a footway and remains in your own
premises, ie if you have a garage or hard standing, I'd imagine you can use
what you like. Obviously it has to be safe for visitors etc, ie coming out
of a window and snaking across in front of the door might be an issue if the
postman breaks his leg and sues!

So, I have an EV (Leaf) which would benefit from the ability to charge
using more than a 13Amp socket can supply. The supplied charging
unit/cable limits to about 10A, but the car's on board charger can accept
up to 3.3kW (some say 3.6kW).
This would need a different EVSE than the supplied unit, AND a beefier
mains socket.

Is it OK, in terms of building regs etc, to have a Schuko 16A socket on a
radial from the CU?

I know I can get a proper home charge point installed, but that's not the
cheapest option.
TIA.
