Scottish Power Charger (Wallbox Pulsar Plus)

[theweakestlink]

Anyone else got this? What do you think?

Scottish Power installing for £359 after OLEV, or actually £59 in Scotland after EST grant.

It seems to be a Wallbox Pulsar Plus. I’m thinking it can’t go wrong.

I had a look at it myself and it looks decent enough. I decided to go with the ChargePod as it could support Type 1 and Type 2 cables so give me some options in future.

Is it tethered and if so does it support Tesla unlocking the cable mechanism?
Thanks

it is tethered. What do you mean? Sounds like a factor I might not have considered?

I ordered this over the weekend for 359, not sure its the plus version, the standard I think. Great price fitted, got sick of local OLEV electricians letting me down, not sure about cable unlocking, assumed it would be compatible being type 2,

It won’t support unlocking the charge point. Only the Tesla Wall Connector has that button. There are third-party cables with the button you can use with an untethered charger.

So what steps have to be taken to manually unlock the charge point, the App? Want to make sure I can charge the car with this EV Charger, collecting model 3 next week.

I ordered this at the weekend too.
Don't really need home charging but for £59 the emergency convenience was a no brainier!

There's no problem charging with that charge point (or any other Type 2). All non-Tesla charge points are in much the same boat. The issue people refer to is that at the end of a charge session when you go to the car you have to tap the screen in the car to release the cable. Alternatively you can click a button on the app. The Tesla charge cables have a button so you don't need to do either of those things you just press the button on the cable handle. It's a bit of extra convenience.

Thanks pleased about that as just got a quote from a local OLEV installation company 997 plus VAT, for a Rolec, think I'll stick with the Scottish Power 359 inc VAT (I can also claim that back)

Super cheap, kind of tempted to order.
