I had slots spare on the main house CU so the installer fitted the dedicated EVSE CU in there. I also have a master switch for the charger just inside the garage door, approximately 1 metre away from the EVSE itself.
I would agree with the comment about the EVSE mini CU not being in the meter box. I think that is very unusual.

Thanks for replying!
At the moment I'm not certain what the hold-up is! Or, perhaps, I'm not being told what it is. That's at least partly why I'm considering the Formal Complaint route.
The MPAN number was issued very quickly (I actually have it listed in a letter to me from the DNO) and...
Just a simple question: to those of you who have Solar PV and benefit from the Smart Export Guarantee, how long (in days, weeks, months or whatever) did it take for your chosen "supplier" (of the payments) to accept your application and actually get your system fully registered and hence...
