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.

You need a safety interlock to ensure that the cable only goes live
once it is plugged-in to the car.
That's interesting as they don't have such safety devices on caravan
sites.
