Hey all - after ordering my car via salary sacrifice, I've been around the houses over charge points.
I'd settled on a spark and the kit to be used, but was informed that as part of the terms of my SS agreement i'd get a free charger installed. After speaking with the company that would facilitate this, they realised that my property wouldn't fall under the OLEV grant and that it was a non standard installation (30+ metre garden length) the costs that they were quoting were astronomical (£400 for the armoured cable alone!).
I then reverted to getting it done by my original spark and have since ordered and received a Tesla Wall Connector. This week I got a call from the leasing company saying that we do qualify for a free charger and that the fitting company would be in touch - they have since changed their tune, and have said that the first 15m of cable is included, and anything over that is £7 per metre.
They are offering a Pod Point or a Smart Pro, I think it will be unlikely that they will fit the TWC i have bought.
My question is do you think its worth getting one of these fitted, and potentially then getting the TWC fitted afterwards in place of that? I guess the type of RCD they fit and earth rod are the only concerns doing this?
