Carrying on from my last post on this topic (the original post and replies appears to have disappeared), thanks to both Jamie and Alec for your replies.
To clarify, as an lockable isolator in the guidelines is not mandatory only "should include" and an RCD meets the requirements of an isolator, so no additional isolator required, therefore neither the RCD or additional isolator (if installed) doesn't have to be accessible?
If there was an emergency situation that the power had to be isolated, you could operate the emerg stop button if one is fitted to the charger, not sure if you can remove the charging lead while the vehicle is charging.
