My first worry was recharging the car, after failing to get a specific charging point installed. A very helpful engineer from British Gas called at my home a week before the Leaf arrived, but after some torchlight prodding under kitchen cupboards announced that the fitment wouldn’t be a trivial matter.
The engineer was not allowed to start work until he’d verified that the gas supply to the house was adequately earthed. He must visually inspect the electrical connection to the copper gas pipe, which according to regulations is attached within 6cm of entering the building.
Unfortunately for me, the gas pipe enters behind a fitted cupboard, and checking the earth strap required dismantling half the kitchen. So after some struggling, covered in dust, we gave up.
