    Surely there's more to it than that? I had one installed as part of me buying the electric London cab. I had to take and forward photos of my consumer unit, driveway and side of my house for the survey. They also upgraded the RCD that powered the charger and the paperwork???? I'm pretty sure that unless it's fitted by a qualified sparky and certified to the current regulations you might invalidate your home insurance in the event of the unit going up in flames and taking your house with it.
    Yes you can fit one yourself but at your own risk.

      @@Luka1180 There's nothing to prove. All batteries are charged with DC and EV quickcharging relies on dumping lots of DC amps straight into EV battery. This thing outputs AC (source: manufacturer website) like it's straight from mains (*because it is*), meaning the heavy lifting of rectifying the AC current has to be done by your EV. The only thing this charg- product provides is beefier, 32amp rated connector, proprietary plug shape and some leds.
