Charging electric cars on Club sites.

Off topic I know, but it does concern electrical power. 

If I was approaching a vehicle after an accident and the occupant was unresponsive. I would have no concerns re my safety, unless the vehicle showed signs of catching fire. An EV however, has the potential to be live. How does one tell without touching it. Is there any sort of safety indicator.

In a recent Grand Prix, in a hybrid car, one of the drivers was told to pull over and exit the car by standing on it and jumping well clear. So clearly  the risk exists. Thinking about it, even if the occupants of the car are responsive, it does not mean it is safe, as they would be protected until they earthed themselves.

Food for thought.

A fast charge for EVs is not on the cards for about 20000 homes after the power outages caused by todays weather,

Instead of rolling out ev outlets put in a metered supply and pay for what you use,should have started this years ago.

With few charging cars I see little need

EV outlets will still be needed as a 10amp mcb in an LV will not be adequate

Personally  I'd  charge  'em  double  --  but  that's  a  totally  different  matter 

This is an interesting read for anyone considering changing to a hybrid, plug in or EV. Click on the highlighted link.

10 amp should be fine. Anybody requiring more can charge off site

32A electric connection points are available now on some sites in Europe. Bella Vista in Duquesa, Spain for example has 16A and 32A sockets on every pitch.

 i understand 10 amp is ok as long as it is dedicated to EV use when charging
