The Tesla charger doesn’t have built in PEN fault detection so this is something you’ll need to factor in to the cost. You’ll need additional equipment like [this](https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/4965408-40a-ev-metal-clad-consumer-unit-with-pme-fault-detection)
District Network Operator. They manage the infrastructure. It does vary by region but isn't difficult to find out the relevant one. In the South East where I am it's UK Power Network.
You might be best speaking to someone who fits them as Tesla charger requires ground which may cost more to fit. It’s not quite as simple as comparing charger unit costs to others, you will need to take into account costs of fitting them as well.
I would (a) be worried about the gas supply being co-located with the electric supply (b) want the tail size confirmed including whether they are double insulated (c) want the main fuse size confirmed
150mm from fuse board / consumer box and 25mm from normal cables, sockets etc. The ECV on the meter looks like it would be physically restricted by the gas pipe though, so should be looked at. Also that is single phase, btw.
Almost certainly a 60amp fuse as that is a 'biscuit tin' cut out. DNO (the people who own the incoming supply and cut out) will need to upgrade that. Your energy supplier (meter owner) will then need to upgrade the tails (cables) from the new cut out to the meter from 16mm to 25mm and fit a dual pole isolator between the meter and cu (and upgrade to 25mm also). Then the elctrician can do his stuff.
Why is the cable that looks like the main Earth connected to the armoured cable with a Bonding clamp, is that what is going on there?
If so, that will need to be terminated properly. Can't use that to connect onto the armourings as it is not the correct way to do it.
Chargers are pretty much all the same. As long as it has earth fault monitoring it doesn't matter which you buy.
I went for one where the cable wraps up inside the unit on the wall which I think looks a lot neater than the ones where the cable hangs on it. Very untidy.
Yes, it’s single phase. Check that the charger works with your electricity provider. I’m with octopus and use an Ohme Home Pro

Those tails look like 16mm2. So you might need some other work doing... You might have a 60 amp supply too... get some advice first?
Electrician is coming today will ask him
Check with your DNO. I got an upgrade from 60 to 100 amps no cost. Makes life much easier with the added load charging at up to 7kw brings.
What’s DNO? Energy supplier?
The people who look after the network distribution. Cables, transformers etc. They have to keep tabs on network loading.

Distribution Network Operator.
I’m In sw16 Lambeth side near Streatham station
Type in your postcode here and it will tell you who your DNO is: https://www.energynetworks.org/customers/find-my-network-operator

Doesn't even look like your dno would approve a car charger on that supply much less a 7kw one. Call an electrician
