[QUOTE="Paul2129, post: 470102, member: 29107"] Hi guys, probably this is an easy question for you, I’m a little while off needing this work doing, but I’m just interested to know. During next year, I’m changing my diesel car to an electric, I’ll charge at work, at least my main fastest charging connection will be there. The problem is, we’re in a town center, and I’m pretty sure the wall charger will be vandalised if it’s visible on an outside wall, so it would nice for it to fitted safely inside the building, and the cable passed through to outside. I was imagining drilling through a brick, and fitting a short length of appropriate diameter plastic pipe or similar, I can simply throw the wire and connect back inside when I’m leaving work for the night, question is, is this allowed ? Another alternative would be to leave the cable coiled up inside an external lockable wall box until required for use. I think I’m aware that these connectors don’t become live until a ‘handshake’ has been established between the vehicle and the charger. I just wondered if there were rules concerning’loose’ wires being passed through a wall ? any comments appreciated [/QUOTE]
