I got the go ahead from the local council, but, as you said. Liability in the case of a trip or whatever would fall on my shoulders.
Since you'd be running power out there anyway, you could install an electric fence across the pavement to keep people from tripping over the wire
Jokes aside, I can see the difficulty, even with a mat you'd have some clown looking to make a quick buck throwing himself on the ground and claiming he tripped over your charging cable"The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

The notice says it should be at least 500mm away. I'd say currently it's maybe 200mm from memory. Will be seriously annoyed if I've to pay to have the charger moved after paying a small fortune to have it installed!
Looks like this example install from Safe Electric March newsletter would fall afoul of GNI too so. Gas meter is bottom right

If it were me I would point the finger directly at the installer and refuse to pay any more to have it moved.
If they refuse tell them you will be reporting them health and safety.
Depends, the REC may have installed it in compliance with the IS regulations as mentioned below.WayneEnterprise wrote: »Looks like this example install from Safe Electric March newsletter would fall afoul of GNI too so. Gas meter is bottom right
Possible but it could be a determination on where you measure the 500mm from. The actual meter inside the box or from the outside frame of the white box.
I’d love to see the regulation document on this.0 -

Did they say how far from the Gas Meter Cabinet it has to be located?
Heres their Location Guide, not alot of info on it.
https://www.gasnetworks.ie/home/get-connected/meter-location/GNI_Meter_Location_Guide.pdf
The guide there just mentions the electricity meter cabinet and the distance should be 300mm. Nothing about appliances near the gas meter
Sounds a bit suspicious from GNI, maybe the lads just felt overworked and didn't want to do that house"The internet never fails to misremember" - Sebastian Ruiz, aka Frost

I tended to agree. But when the RGI issued the letter of non-conformance then he/wasn’t winging it. He/she had to have been dissatisfied with something.0 -

Our new Zappi2 (installed last March) is throwing up an error:
Tried resetting a number of times, reset trip, etc. No luck. So phoned Myenergi who said they would immediately send out a new machine to be fitted by NMD and he would take old one away with him.
Great service, but a bit worried about why such a new charger would break down so soon..
Back to the Granny chargers for our two cars for the next week or so, at least not too much hassle atm..
Just a follow up post re my Zappi2 replacement as above.
It finally arrived from Myenergi this afternoon after taking seven and a half weeks delayed by customs here in Ireland. The driver would not release parcel unless c.o.d. taxes of €131.78 were paid in cash. Contacted Myenergi who are going to refund me this in full.
Contacted installer, NMD, at about 3pm who said he would change over charge points ASAP, which true to his word was completed at 6pm this evening.:). Fitter was surprised to find a unit inside burnt. He said the new one is slightly different internally to our old 1 year old one. There was no charge for this work, Myenergi will be paying NMD.
Hope the new unit lasts a bit longer than the last one..:rolleyes:0 -
