[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 528823, member: 9512"] The problem with BS1363 sockets overheating is a known issue. It has been recognised by the relevant product standard committee. The issue is that BS1363 sockets have never been designed to carry the load that a typical EV will draw for the duration of the typical full charge. The product standard never required this. The standard had been updated to reflect this. BS1363 sockets suitable for use in charging EVs will be marked EV on the rear. Using any other BS1363 socket, as in not marked EV would be out of the scope of the product standard, and would be a departure under BS7671 and needs to be recorded as such. [/QUOTE]
