Octopus Energy are planning to fit an ev charger to the front of my house. After an inspection, their technician reported that, because the lamppost is too close to the car on my driveway, there is a danger of electrocution. This could occur in the event of someone touching the lamppost and the car, while the car would be charging. They will only fit the ev charger if the lamppost can me moved 2.5b meters away from my car.
