Car Charging

Realisticallty - if it was a new norm - what additional cost would it be
for new builds to have a 3 phase supply brought to the meter enclosure for
possible use for a car charger?
No idea of the actual costs other than €śquite a lot€ť but for 99% of EV
owners, pointless.
Most car owners sleep for part of the day. Usually quite long enough to
adequately charge most EVs for their daily mileage on a single phase 7kW
supply.
On the odd days when they might want a more rapid top up charge during the
day, a high speed DC charger will make more sense than a 22kW AC charger.
Lastly, many EVs wont actually charge faster than 7kWhrs as adding three
phase chargers to the cars cost money. Cheaper/easier to fit DC chargers
that will suit owners needs better for a fast charge.
