    Yes, I’m sure we agree on that. My point is, loads of houses are not up to code. Garden plug outlets for mowing the lawn are not be used for charging a car in the same way that old extension leads are not

      garden plug outlets should have an appropriate breaker on them for whatever they’re rated at… you can use them for whatever you like: they’re no different from an inside plug other than being weather proofed… why would they be any different? old extension leads are also fine for charging a car, as long as the insulation is fine and they’re rated the same as the breaker… again, why would they not be? its not like extension lead technology has exactly changed much: it’s a chunk of copper surrounded by non-conductive material

      it doesn’t become a fire risk simply because it’s old…
