bp pulse home charger

Fitting aside, has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with these? I am more interested to know how the final product and app performs. I understand there have been issues getting them installed to time etc which i'm fully aware of.

We’ve had one for the past 5 years, charging the car a couple nights a week. It’s the Chargemaster / Polar one. Maybe not as advanced as the later connected ones, but it has a SIM and we can log in to a website to see what the usage has been. Have had no issues with it, although we will be replacing it shortly with a Zappi as we’ve got solar being installed at the moment.

Thanks for the quick response. Do you find it works okay and allows you to get the best out of your electricity tarrifff, or do you mainly control that via the vehicle?

It’s a dumb charger, although the newer ones do allow you to use timers I think. Some people use the Ohme cable to help with their timed tariffs. We control it from the car as the Zoe has timed charging built in So we can make most of being on Octopus GO.

We have the BP charger. It’s okay, but the app is pure rubbish. You have to login to it every time you want to use it. The charging periods are not always recorded, or are delayed, and you cannot always see from the app if it is charging the car or not.

We are getting a Smart car that it is due for delivery in May although our free BP Pulse charger will be installed sometime from April onwards. I'll write a report once it is installed.

Our Smart and Tesla will then have a choice of the Tesla or BP charger

Hi, just interested to see your views on BP pulse? I have one fitted but I HATE it.

I got rid of mine.

What were the issues you were having?
I got mine free with Mercedes when I bought their car last year.

my one randomly stops and starts charging, the app is awful, too.
I live in a rented house atm so no real point changing it. What you thinking?
