Correct, there are indeed a lot of properties which are still on 60A fuses - however there is a process in place in which the installer should be checking all of this, then making the application to the DNO where needed. They should not be installing without first load checking!
you and i both know alot of installers don't do all the checks dont talk to me about subcontractors ether .........
Looped supplies are more troublesome, but again, there are policies in place to assist with resolving this also.
ARE you sure lol lots still out there ie old housing estates and caravan parks
As for line tapping, still happens for service cables!
DID WONDER
The load balancing I am referring to goes a little further than just properties being on alternate phases, the balancing would be at local substation level and would involve constant monitoring of connected phases on each feeder (via smart metring CT's). Where the load is high, the available power would be reduced in order to ensure no fuses pop... this would be a live system which constantly adjusts to ensure that everyone has a safe, reliable supply. This was trialled a number of years ago in a project called "My electric avenue" and there are/were trials by other DNO's too.
Did aload of ct work in bashingstoke many years ago and mini form sub stations with in comercial properties
Is it perfect right now? no, definitely not. Are all DNO's doing all they can (within the remit of their licence conditions) to make it happen? Absolutely they are.
Pollution will always be a factor in anything humans do, but quite frankly there are bigger fish to fry than claiming EV car manufacture outweighs manufacture of any other type of vehicle....
