You still use the Earth in your house and it gets connected to the charge point. tesla (I believe) require earthing. Which is really just basic electrical safety. It replaces the new or extra earth rod. Which they need to put down now as part of the new regs. It’s fairly good value to be fair...

I started a thread on this a few weeks ago. TESLA Charger Install - No earth an independent earth rod is safer..., quicker trip... also needs to be independent as you don't want your radiator and taps going live now do you :-) But i've got the matt-e unit installed, which is a relay...
