£200 a day is an annual salary of £52,000
The £350 grant is YOUR money, you paid it is taxes and the G/ment is giving it back to YOU as an incentive to install and EV - the install hasn't cost you £100 it's cost you £450The unit itself from hypervolt is £679. I will pay around 100 quid more and the rest by the grant.
The fitter may be getting 200 an hour, but not by me.
There is a fundamental difference between a wage of X and being charged Y by a tradesman to provide a service. The tradesman's charge is not his wage - you need to account for the cost of doing business. You might be charged £600 but that isn't what the tradesman gets as a wage.A ‘qualified’ electrician is a 3 year apprenticeship (longer than a bricklayer, shorter than and electrical/mechanical engineer, the same time as nurse). Nurses get paid about £650 a week. The reason the electrician coming to your house is earning 3 or 4 times more than the nurse is because you are too polite to ask him to justify why he is charging you £400/£500/£600 a day.
I'm looking at a Hypervolt as well. Had one quote in for £780 with the grant. Seems like the going rate. Essex Based.I am having a hypervolt installed in a few weeks, yes it's a very easy install with less than 6meters of cable required. The consumer unit is under the stairs on the outer wall where the charger will be located. I ordered direct from hypervolt, they recommended an installer my area, I checked his reviews and spoke with him 're the install and sent plenty of pictures. The unit itself from hypervolt is £679. I will pay around 100 quid more and the rest by the grant.

I've ordered a model Y too. Didn't realise the car would have to be on an approved list? I am just starting to look at getting quotes for the HypervoltAnyone else ordered a Model Y but having to wait for a home charger installation until Model Y is on the Government's vehicles eligible for electric vehicle homecharge scheme list?
I think this will be a basic requirement for the install. All meters (gas and water) need to be bondedI have just had my first visit from an installer and it didn't go well . . . . .
We've lived in this house for 40 years. We had it completely rewired 30 years back all in line with the then current regulations. For some reason my incoming water pipe does not have am 'earth bonding' wire attached to it. The installer will not install anything unless I pay for a my water pipe to be earth bonded. So what's the problem? He insists that this 'bonding' (a green wire) has to go from my supply (in the garage) up, over, through, down and along the front of the house, down the other side, then through the wall and through the study onto the incoming water pipe. Apart from what that will cost, the disruption and legacy appearance is causing me to consider the question - do I live without an EV charger or cancel the car?
I've slept peacefully in by bed for 40 years and he's now telling me I could be dead any day soon !
Yes I will be getting the HyperVolt charger installed too once the Model Y is on the list: Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme: eligible vehiclesI#v

The electrician is "earning 3 or 4 times more" because there are enough clients willing to pay the quoted rate. If there aren't enough clients willing to pay the quoted rate, then the electrician will not be "earning 3 or 4 times more". They are charging what they can get away with, and why shouldn't they? They are, after all, getting away with it. Unless they aren't.I have lived and worked in other countries and apart from seeing how things are done differently elsewhere it also spotlights the cultural differences. We are courteous and polite to the ridiculous extreme. In other countries when an artisan comes to quote for a job they walk in the door with a copy of their qualifications and insurance and their quote comes with a justification of what they are doing and why they are charging what they are charging. In this country (our culture) we are too polite to ask if they are qualified let alone for proof of their qualifications and insurance and we wouldn’t dare ask them to itemise/justify why they are charging £xxx.

I've sent the the GOV OZEV team an email to see when they plan to add the Model Y. Will keep you posted.Yes I will be getting the HyperVolt charger installed too once the Model Y is on the list: Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme: eligible vehicles
Hmm, I wonder if I can still get a grant for the HyperVolt, even when I had a Rolec (dumb charger) installed with grant back in 2017 at the same address?
It's a pain, but it's something that ideally should be rectified anyway. Of course, you are free to suggest a different routeing for the cable, but it will need to run between the main earthing terminal at your electicity meter and the incoming water pipe.I have just had my first visit from an installer and it didn't go well . . . . .
