Decided to get it over with and go down the EV route at the next car change but intended to charge overnight with a normal plug as I don’t need a fast home charge. Just reading that this is not recommended and should only be used as a temporary measure.
So smart charger installation required - not an option.
I put a fast charger in. No problems and as easy as wiring a plug.
Mine is a little more complicated than that - involves tapping into the main power feed, a couple of Henley boxes, a new RCD, a junction box and about 7 metres of armoured cable. I can wire a plug, but this is a little beyond my comfort zone.
