    Expected price for a home charger?

    Nope the charger is going less than a meter from my electricity meter, pretty much straight install. Happy to pay slightly more like £30 extra for the quick install but I feel like he's taking advantage? He's already applied for the OLEV grant

    Before I Buy!

    phew the space where i wanted to park is 2700mm, that leaves me 612mm 306mm each side but i'd get close to one side (100mm) and leave as much space as I can (probably 500mm) to get out of the door :) Might have to fix something soft to the wall so i dont bang the door everytime i open it
