Yes but he also needs and earth and neutral:-)


D'Oh!

(I'd thought "with the 18th an EV charger he might well need a local
earth rod anyway so..." but then went full prat.)


The single phase unit I fitted at a school had a local earth rod. I
still had to export the house earth to protect the cable and isolate it
inside the charger.



Would you have needed to export the earth if not using SWA - eg where
the cable ran inside a house, under the floor? (Purely academic question
for me in a terraced house with no off-street parking. Unless they
allow consumers to be inventive - eg a swing arm derrick across the
pavement.)
