When we had our EV charger installed in our garage the electrician put in a sort of mini-panel right next to the charger with just two breakers in it.
I don't think the breaker for the EV charger has ever tripped, but if it did, it's very easy to access it and reset it.
- pkulak 2y agoThat’s odd. An EVSE doesn’t require protection. It is the protection.
- Reason077 2y agoYes, EV chargers typically include their own fault detection of course. But regulations here (Australia/NZ) require a GCFI ("Type B RCD") to be installed, even if it's redundant.

- spockz 2y agoSome chargers (older ones) don’t have protection against DC flowing back from the car due to a faulty car transformer built in. So we had to add one ourselves. I think that is the type B that was mentioned in sibling comment.
