WWilts Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 On the application form for electric supply, they ask how many kW supply needed. They suggest 15kW suffices for a dwelling. 5 bedroom house, pumping chamber for foul drainage, electric vehicle charging point. What kW would you show as the requirement?

ProDave Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I would go for 21kVA and see if they flinch or try and negotiate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWilts Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Their guidance also says 3 phase supply has maximum 69kvA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yes 100 Amps per phase is about 23kVA so 3 phase will give a maximum of 69kVA What rate are you expecting to charge your car? and only one EV or more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWilts Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Fast charging for EV preferred. Don't have an EV yet, but might get one hoping for savings on fuel & on installation of charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
