Some use SIM cards as well, but all the installers are up to speed. I contacted a supplier last week about a ‘dumb’ chargepoint and they told me they couldn’t supply one as the legislation was about to change.
It’s not illegal to have a ‘dumb’ charger if it’s fitted already, nor for an electrician to fit one, just suppliers can’t sell them to individuals. You could therefore buy a used one privately, and an electrician could still fit it legally.
That’s my understanding anyway.
