Wall box upgrade?
Discussion
Im looking to move to an EV from PHEV (G21 330e currently) but my issue is that my current wall box is on a 16a supply fed off my garage.
Given the supply i think im stuck with the very slow 3.5kw charge speed? is anyone aware of ways to increase this without digging up the garden etc to try and get a bigger cable to the garage?

No. Like most people with supplies to their garages, the original cable was enough for lights and a few sockets because that's all 99.9% of people used.

You either stick with it or dig up the cable and get it replaced I'm afraid.
