Electric car question

Post by irn_bru_ce » Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:52 pm

Planning ahead for getting the wiring for the house done and was thinking about future proofing the garage

Will a 32A socket be suitable for the base station of an electric car?

Yes, that would do the job nicely. :)

Thinking of something electric to commute with?

The house has to be wired anyway, so just looking to cover all bases. There was only a single 15A socket (round pins) in each room, all the wiring was the old VIR style.

The wife currently has a Polo 1.0, been in the family for 14 years, and still only done 40k, so still plenty of life left, but if it did need replacing then would like to keep my options open
