u/spardha

I'm in a little bit of decision paralysis, I've had my EV for 3 weeks now and I'm able to charge at work occasionally when there not being used by a director. So, I haven't had to rush into getting a home charger installed.

I initially asked AI how to get a charger installed and it came back with ProAV and Smart Home Charge. I have gone through the quotes system and ProEV only offer the Ohme range, which I have dismissed after a bit of research. SMC can do the HyperVolt 3 Pro I'm interested in but again after a bit of research they will use a local contractor to do the install. Which I'm not opposed to but thought I could maybe cut out the middle man? (SMC)

Not knowing anyone else that has had a charger installed I can't ask for positive experiences and my google search hasn't come up with anything promising so, can anyone recommend a charger installer in Birmingham?

Thanks.

As the title, Everyone seems to use Octopus for their electrical provider. From UW website with 1 service the nightly cost is 8.5p which on the face of it seems good. I think we have Gas & Electric so I'd maybe get the 8p rate.

My 2nd question is how did you choose an installer? AI has suggested ProEV and their quote was £1000 for the Ohme pro which seems to be the norm. What should I be looking for?
