Well aware Jeffrey, but there are not many places that have 32A sockets available!
Its never been a problem, I just make sure that the kettle goes on for a brew either before or after but not during.
We did have problems with some German made dishwashers that were a little over 13A on UK 240v mains, they used to age fail cheap 13A fuses and needed good sockets and plugs.
The ones that were really bad were the kitchen fitters "special wiring" jobs, two or three 4 way extension leads daisy chained together behind the plinth with everything plugged in to them, fan oven, gas hob, dishwasher, disposer, washing machine, hot tap, etc. Normally with a 6mm bolt for a fuse in the first plug top. Horrible.
My old engineer friend had some 13A sockets in his workshop with a phase on each pin........................
To get back on topic, reading the literature there seems to be multiple standards for charging sockets already, what happened to standardisation?
Surely this is going to be a big problem to EV owners until one standard reigns supreme over all the others?
