I need a shedload of dosh to upgrade this antiquated bakerlite electricity supply in this old house before the MG ZS EV arrives in February.



One of the criteria for getting the OLEV grant was your house needs to have modern electrical supply, I don't think our 1920's supply suffices
I got a torch & the BIG step ladders out to have a look in the fuse box cupboard where the spiders live , the electric supply comes into the house at ceiling height 10 foot up, the biggest fuse in there is 30 amp for the shower. You need at least a 60 amp for a 7kw wall box charger from what I've read.



I sent a raft of pics so they can remotely access the job but I've heard nowt back yet! They're probably still laughing at the bakerlite fuse board & wired fuses lol. I've asked missus for a loan out of her big purse but she's told me to bog off

And then I'll hold you in my dreams
