EV cable future planning

Thanks. Can you recommend me a cable ?

its called ev ultra cable, taking into account your 20m run, and adding 5 meters extra for getting to the board and charger, accounting for volt drop, you could actually use 6mm.
How far is your consumer unit from where the cable will enter the house?
Also, do you have enough space in your consumer unit for a breaker for the EV charger, and also a surge protector?

 
Martyn had some conduits instaaled in his spanish villa thread - possibly with draw thread too.

future-proofing on cables now might include getting something appropriate for V2G too, so ensuring resitance and voltage drop would be good if you were powering stuff in the house.

Thanks I have gone for a similar cable. 6mm as you said. 20m run is the max. I think it could be 15/16 metres but ordered bit extra to be safe

Do you think this cable will be out of date in a few years. As I am not 100% sure when I will get the EV car but I think it will be sooner than later.

Also can I check please. Read somewhere that the cable loses current if buried. The cable will only be under one patio 60cm of the 15 metre will buried.

Will I be ok?
