Think this is the best thread to post on. Just looking for a quick sanity check...
I have an installation booked for the 17th March for Ohme Home Pro charger for our Model Y to be delivered the following day. It will be installed to our garage about 8 meters from our house where we get a "poor" WiFi connection.
I primarily picked the Ohme charger due to its connectivity with Octopus and its app. However since I'm seeing a lot of people here having a Hypervolt charger, I thought it sensible to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Whilst popularity alone isn't a cause to change my plans, given Ohme relies on a data connection (no wifi), I imagine it's continued support and existence is helpful at the very least.
Is there anything in Hypervolt's favour which should make me want to switch? The main points I'm seeing are:
- Looks - whilst nice, it's going to be installed inside a garage, so certainly not a deal breaker.
- Solar integration - we don't currently have any solar, but who knows for the future. Is it worth bearing this in mind for scalability?
- Cable management - I honestly don't know how much this matters given it'll be a garage install. I assume living with the Ohme solution day to day would be fine?
- Connectivity - I believe Hypervolt allows for either wifi or ethernet? Since I'm needing to have a cable installed to the garage, would it actually be advantageous to choose ethernet to allow a wifi extender for the Tesla connection?
Any thoughts appreciated. Obviously the simplest option is to stick with Ohme, but equally want this to be a sensible long term solution too.
