EV Charger MCB sanity check please?

Hello, I have an EV charger going in. Image of consumer unit attached.

 

Would i just need a 32a MCB in the very left hand spare way on the unit?

 

Charger is a BG Sync with built in RCD - I think. I am just concerned about it being with the RCD in the panel. Also, possible surge protection not present. The guides i have watched seem to install a separate box.

 

Yes this will be completed by a qualified electrician but i am just checking his advice as it seems a bit odd to me. If the single MCB addition will work, that will be great.

 

Thanks very much.

It’s probably easier to install a new DB and join the tails together that way your installer doesn’t have to touch the original db and comment on its existing condition in a certificate 

 

manufacturer will specify type of RCD  so that may not necessarily fit the existing space.
