>>Access points are just extra cost and charging point infrastructure takes up the space they could cram another 'executive' home into so there's no incentive without regulations.
Yes. And a domestic supply is usually 60-100A. I'm wondering if I paid enough attention to this, I put a supply in for the construction of our new house with the meter in a cabinet in the garden, intending to leave it there and just put an armoured cable to the house where the distribution board is which is what we have done. After discussion with UK Power Networks we have a 23KVA supply (100A). If I recall correctly this was the the suggested higher of a couple of options. Since then I have spoken to a couple of people who have put in 30KVA
I'm hoping this will be enough, as we have electric heating, albeit with a heat pump, and when car charging is added. I don't suppose I will be in any worse position than 99% of houseowners but it would be a shame if we missed the opportunity to put in a big enough supply.
