I'm getting one installed through Octopus as my gas & electric are with them anyway. They sent somebody out today who had a quick nose around at where the gas & electric meters are, as well as the stop cock (I was flummoxed by that but it's to do with earthing apparently), and have booked the installation for next week. Seems pretty painless: all I have to do is, er, trim the bush out the front.
You need to trim your bush, ahead of ‘oh me’ time?
Important to tidy it up when you've got a man coming round.
Have they given you a price? With Octopus also so interested to see if it’s worthwhile ta.
You can buy a decent “granny charger” at Screwfix for less than £150 and plug it straight into a three pin socket, but it’s highly recommended to get an electrician to check your wiring, and fit a higher spec if necessary.
That's just a hybrid, not a plug-in hybrid. So you wouldn't charge it (or plug it in) anyway. Bloody good car, though.
3 pin plug is maximum 13A, so just under 3kw. It looks like the Clio has a 1.2kwh battery so you'll charge it in half an hour off a 3-pin.
Yeah but it would be a great laugh if he ripped up his lovely wooden floor and only realised afterwards
Depends on the charger, and you may be right re: a withdrawn subsidy. When I had my Zappi installed it cost us approx £625, but that was *after* a £350 subsidy was taken off the original quote, as well as a special discount my installer had going at the time (as the business was still establishing). This was back in (late) 2020.
I've just got an ohme installed. Very impressed so far.
