Hi everybody,

I'm hoping to get an EV charger fitted, but my Consumer Board is in the middle of the house under the stairs.

Is it possible to run the cables in the house and is there a good way to hide them, also once the cable goes outside it will need to be armoured cable, will the internal cable need to be armoured?

Hope that makes sense, thanks for reading!

EV charger does not need to be wired to consumer board.
They are far better being wired as a separate circuit from the meter supply.
Such as below, all down the righthand side of meterbox.

Thanks, understood, our Consumer Board and Meter are next to each other under the stairs 

You are going to have to wait & see what the installer says. Depending on the run of cabling required. Std install is 10mtr of cable. Any more costs more.
It could also be that where your meter is located & internal wiring is also classed as non std install.

If you have floorboards it could be possible to run under the floor & out through the wall where charger needs to be fitted. But again installer will decide on the best/easiest option.👍

Had the same thing, cable went under the floorboards.
