Ohme intelligent wall charger

[Acko1985]

What’s the average cost of installing smart wall charger?

I have just received a quote of £598 (after grant) which seems a tad expensive.

Consumer unit in garage and meter box on side of house where charger would go so it doesn’t seem that difficult to do.

My installation of the same charger was ~£600 after the old £500 grant. My box is in the middle of the house so a bit extra cabling was required.

I think that seems a fair price.

They’re always around £500. The cheapest I could find was a Rolec.

I’m going podpoint, mainly because it looks tidy (we used them at work) and because they’ll wire it to the outside panel and not the consumer unit which is a big plus for me.

That seems reasonable for a smart charger. In many cases the grant seems to “disappear”, as anecdotally grant-based quotes mostly seem more expensive than self-funded installs. I suspect the electricians see it as adding a bit of extra easy profit

Would agree with other comments that it’s a good price. Just remember if you’re comparing with old posts on quotes that the grant was £500 compared to the £350 now.

If you got it in on the old grant it would have been £450 installed which is decent.

I had Tesla mobile out to sort out some minor issues. All Tesla mobile mechanics are using the OHME charger with a commando socket in the garage. You can buy Ohme charger through Octopus for £199. I am using Tesla UMC with commando socket. Looking at changing to Ohme once Octopus install smart meter. My commando socket cost £50 all in. This was getting an electrician to do connections.
