When I bought mine the offer was £199 and included installation - I understand it's free at the moment and includes installation

If you have the 7KW charger you can charge in about 3.5 hours, although it depends on your own circumstances if this would ever make a difference to you.drdel said:I have an outside set of 13 amp sockets with in internal RCD which we use for garden tools etc. Wired with 2.5mm an I use this an there is no hint of warmth anywhere, including the PHEV 3pin plug. I might just sick with it.
Chargemaster want north of £300 to install their 'charger' (which by my reckoning is about 10months charging!). I'm trying to get a breakdown of their cost as the 350 figure to me is after the 40% grant contribution and makes their 'cost' somewhere over £800 which is IMHO rather OTT.
Anyone have a feeling for what technically their unit does above from providing 16/32amp of 240v AC (especially when the PHEV wont take more than 16)?
My security tags were cut off when I had solar panels installed. I queried whether they needed to be re-fitted and was told, " Never have, never had any come-backs". And there have been plenty of meter readers who would have noticed, as the cut off crimps were left all over the bottom of the meter enclosure. If you need a consumer unit changed, there's no alternative, and I'm pretty sure a qualified electrician isn't going to spend valuable time fiddling about with security crimps!NightPHEVer said:In reply to the question from fecn about crimped security tags, a representative from my electricity supplier saw that mine had been removed (in fact the day before, even though they'd been there for the last 15 years - not fitted by the same electricity supplier that I currently have though) and wasn't the least bit concerned.
