EV Charger connection from the meter box

Here's a pic of my meter box installation which was done last Monday. Zappi is just to the right on the wall with an isolator switch. I have a day night meter and the small fuseboard box replaced a smaller one that was there already. Neat install, all compliant.

I can't say that means a lot to me, is it something to be concerned about?

Isolation switch is outside on the wall beside the charger

I didn't think they were allowing EV chargers to be wired from meter cabinets now.

Last inspection I had inspector told me ESB networks now do not allow it to be supplied from the meter cabinet.

One of our subbies rang RECI and was told the same thing.

According to that newsletter it was ESBN who requested the change.

Last inspection was September

Multiple breaches of regulations

1 it’s not permitted in Esb meter box since march 2022

2 it requires double pole isolation on distribution board

3 it requires single pole isolation for sub board in house (may be there but I can’t make it out)

4 it requires surge protection

5 no gland on cable at bottom (minor issue but affects the ip 55 rating)

A 7 module enclosure is the minimum required to fit all the associated tripswitchs.That’s why it’s not permitted inside a meter cabinet as it’s too big for esbn permissible measurements(180mmx225mm) .It can go outside the meter cabinet,adjacent to it
