It's actually quite a complicated question as it really depends on your needs and wants. There is everything from something not much more than a plug to some really clever high tech chargers which plot plot tariffs and have link in with your solar generation if you have any. On the high tech end there is the Ohmy, Zappi and Hypervolt.
I've done the same but they are quite top end and won't suit all use cases. For example, use of solar was big for me. The built in pen fault detection and the measurement of maximum house current to avoid overloading. I also really like the tech development plans and updates they have planned. Zappi would have been a good choice too but I can't help thinking they will be releasing the new hardware platform soon is a Pi with OTA updates. I think Hypervolt will come with a few rough edges for six months or so but I can live with that.
. I calculated that I would have to do 50 full charges (which I wouldn't get anywhere near) a year to break even.
We've had a SyncEV installed today. Small neat looking box and so far so good. Just under £600 all up including removable tether.
That's a good price, who did you get this with?
They are Hypervolt's approved installer in my area, using the quote form on the Hypervolt site. I found a lot of other companies were charging £1200+ for supply and fitting, then taking the £350 off that. Seemed a bit 'have your cake and eat it' to me.
Can I ask where you find the list of approved installers as I can not find this on there site?
I've thought about it. There are some on ebay - and other sites - about £275. I haven't really looked into reviews etc. I see you've ordered the same car as me. I've been told possibly January, but probably March.
Thank you, I saw this but thought you may have seen a list, I have filled out and sent.
In fairness for anyone who knows what they are doing its not a massive job, nothing really is if you have the ability, tools and test equipment, the main issue for me is the peace of mind its been installed and fully tested by an approved installer and comes with a warranty and as it draws so much electricity if there was an issue your have someone to fall back on so for peace of mind I persoanlly would want it installed and get the approvals etc.
