Since you use less than 100km per week
Just limit charging draw to 7A & you’ll be fine lah, and charge everyday.
Basically the socket must not be looped, must be installed properly, and uses properly sized SIRIM cables. Your house developer is proper one and everything ikut spec it is fine to just plug and play. Problem only arises if corners were cut.
I did the same to a 1980s house, just plug in existing socket and draw 10A overnight no issues. Did it for 2 years. Of course back then no such bullshit as copper clad aluminum cables or shit China quality sockets.
Likewise I did to a 8 year old house developed by a top public listed developer, no issues with the original socket and 10A draw.
From what I understand, most houses have looped 13A SSOs with one 36A MCB per circuit using 2.5mm² conductors, presumably to cut cost and it's legal iinm. Aircon points have dedicated individual circuit with 20A MCB.Just limit charging draw to 7A & you’ll be fine lah, and charge everyday.

I think the risk is when the EV is charging using one SSO, and another user plugs in a 2000W hair dryer, etc into another SSO from the same circuit.
