Thank you Cliff, you have been very helpful. I'll talk to my electrician and see what he says. Another interesting fact I found this afternoon.. A lot of the EV wall chargers for sale online (Including Ohme) are IP55 rating... the same as the Audi mobile charging compact system. I thought they would be IP65 for external wall mounted units?

Sorry I hope I understand correctly. The car came with a Commando adapter for the mobile charger (Very same as the link below). My understanding is that if I have an industrial commando socket installed by an electrician on a separate circuit that can supply 7Kw, that the Audi mobile charger can support those charging speeds with the adapter? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235704248984?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-169260-534375-3&mkcid=2&keyword=&crlp=670833748941_&MT_ID=&geo_id=&rlsatarget=pla-325425753764&adpos=&device=c&mktype=pla&loc=1007850&poi=&abcId=&cmpgn=20488672762&sitelnk=&adgroupid=155578564071&network=g&matchtype=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwxNW2BhAkEiwA24Cm9NBI-_-FYLADUW3_KyLJ1OtyOBMoACg3J3cyyRUUShJayFtn3HIwMhoClxgQAvD_BwE

Hi, I am trying to source a new EV wall charger and realised that I can use the supplied mobile charging system (Compact) with an industrial socket to achieve the 7Kw charging speeds. I could be saving over a grand by doing so. My concern is the weather proofing of the unit. Its IP55 according to the manual, but thats not going to protect against driving rain. The side of my house can get hot too in the summer. I dont have a garage, so its all outdoors. Does anyone use these regularly, do you have it some sort of weather proof container? I'm looking to protect my charging unit while its outdoors.
