The train of thought was that, as part of current works, I'm thinking of

labour
is expensive' principle (especially when you've made good on top of
everything) it's only the cost of the cable to do it now.Â* The CU
replacement is likely to happen in the medium term (which would include
wiring in this cable), which just leaves the (relatively limited)
external
wiring for the EVSE.

And then, scope creep being what it is, I was pondering what the
uplift to
three phase would be.


If you want maximum future proofing, put in cable that can handle
connection to one or more current transformers for "smart" charge points.

But you might have to buy a minimum amount, like 25 metres
