I remember a LV joint rupturing the pavement in Islington one early morning. A black smoking hole.
Repair crew dug it out, pot joined the burnt ends together by twisting 6mm cable round the ends, bridging the metal sheath outside the pot with a bit more 6mm twisted around the rusty spiral wrap. And buried it, no wonder they have frequent blow outs.
So tell me how the infrastructure will support thousands of cars charging overnight connected to the shoddy old underground supplies?
The suggestion of a charging point on every lamp post is farcical , street furniture is wired with 1mm 2&E cable, no fuses or cutout between the sub station cut out and the lamp.
