I would guess a 2kW limit only applies to a tiny number of rural houses.

No one has mentioned as a "2kw limit". It is a figure that DNOs assume
as the /average/ demand per household when planning a network. Around
2kw is what was used for vast numbers of dwellings - including urban
estates. With good justification based on empirical evidence.


The effect on that "after diversity maximum demand" of EVs and heat
pumps is what has the National Grid, DNOs et al looking at massive
investment plus better demand management.


I'm well aware about diversity. Which can apply to charging EVs too.


then please explain /how/ substantial numbers of EVs can be charged at
home in addition to existing use without increasing the ADMD


Please read the part of the tread I was replying to.
