Accelerate your electric vehicle charging setup with our specialized Waterproof EV Consumer Unit. Engineered specifically to safeguard domestic and commercial Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, this robust sub-panel offers an IP54 outdoor protection rating. It acts as the dedicated safety bridge between your main electrical grid and your EV charger, preventing system overloads and minimizing electrical hazards.
Designed for high-performance exterior wall mounting, this unit houses critical circuit protection components like RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers). It ensures that your outdoor vehicle charging infrastructure remains operational and safe through heavy rain, snow, blowing dust, and shifting temperatures.

Outdoor EV charging points are continuously exposed to variable weather elements. Our EV consumer unit features an engineered, weather-resistant perimeter seal that prevents harmful dust buildup and blocks splashing water from any direction. This guarantees a dry, secure internal environment for sensitive trip switches.
Car ports and driveways can be unpredictable environments. The unit features an extra-thick ABS chassis paired with an impact-resistant Polycarbonate (PC) viewing window. Rated at IK08 for structural impact, it resists accidental physical damage from vehicles or tools while remaining stable under direct sunlight without cracking or yellowing.
The transparent, spring-loaded protective cover allows homeowners and electrical inspectors to check the status of the internal breakers instantly. It features a secure locking click-latch to prevent weather ingress and stop unauthorized users or children from tampering with the switches.
EV charging draws a continuous high current over long periods, which naturally generates thermal stress. Our consumer units are molded from premium flame-retardant materials. In the event of an abnormal electrical fault, the enclosure prevents flame propagation, containing thermal events safely inside the box.
