UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations
- Thread starter Gamemeister
- Start date
I had my Tesla Wall Connector fitted this week by LJN Electrical - I'm in south Manchester. Luke did a great job, with superb comms throughout. I supplied the TWC and the GARO G8EV40PMEB that was installed, Luke supplied the rest of the kit. Charged a fair price for a 35m cable run from my property to the installation site.
He currently isn't on the OLEV scheme but is looking to get on it soon - that didn't make any difference to me due to the fact my install wasn't eligible anyway.

Well went ahead with Bumblebee, confirmed the quote yesterday afternoon and charger fitted this afternoon (their fitter was in the area) splendid job to be honest, and now sitting awaiting the M3LR in 9 days time.......
Do you mind revealing the total cost please? DM me if you don't want to tell all!
any recommendations for the south/south east? (I’m im Windsor). Mr charger says £775 for the socket Zappi inc grant so probably around £800 for the tethered? That lines up with the quote from HomeZap I got yesterday. Happy to save a bit on that if its on the high side.
Zappi isn't the cheapest charger on the market and so I reckon that price is proably about right.
I used Smart Home Charge (Compare home EV chargers | Smart Home Charge) and their local chap for Cardiff was excellent. Fitted an Andersen A2 nice and neatly, and even knew about some of the errors in Andersen's installation guide. Price was good as well, and they're fully competent with the installation grant as well.
Thanks for this. Based upon your recommendation I contacted Graham, and he came out and installed a charger a few days ago. He was excellent and went beyond what he needed to do to help me.
Still waiting for him to send me an invoice, but considering it’s a bank holiday, I will let him off!
We had our charging point fitted yesterday by Cannon Electrical, Hull. We're based in Lincolnshire. Terry fitted the Ohme box very neatly and came up with a better location than I did. We have a long run of cabling around the front of the house to get to the consumer unit, but this was put low down and clipped tidily.
Inside, the PEN switch was fitted below the consumer unit and (for an ugly box) looks good. No unnecessary cabling in sight.
Terry also went over the OLEV grant paperwork with me and offered any further support that might be needed when I start using the charger.
Quotation was quick, thorough and was based on some photos and videos I sent over along with a phone call to discuss. Good comms throughout and Terry dealt with the DNO notification. I would recommend Cannon Electrical. I dropped on them through the Ohme website as they are one of their official installers.

had ours in Windsor done by Mr Charger - price was on par with other quotes, and they were good at answering questions and did a good job on the day
Certainly important… sooner the better. Superchargers are really for trips or when you’re caught out needing a fast top up, not for routine charging. If Superchargers were to be used in that way there would be queues all day.

Might as well ask about installers for the Peterhead area since Ive ordered an M3SR+, I am leaning towards a Zappi charger and have requested quotes through their website
Thanks in advance

I got a broken Rolec charger which had been unused for the last 3 years. It gets power, but something inside seems kaputt. I also want to put a longer cable on it, can anybody recommend a charge point installer around Glasgow? The original installation was via the grant and it seems they are no longer interested in doing domestic business.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Not exactly what you have asked but... ALL the components inside your Rolec (including longer cables)?are available, usually off the shelf, at sensible prices (plus good support!) from Viridian (trading as Eco Harmony) prices and spec sheets for all their items are available on the eco harmony web site.
TBH there isn’t much to go wrong inside your Rolec, RCBO, contractor and protocol controller, that’s it!
Obviously, just ensure you isolate from mains electric supply before opening up by taking off the front cover, 6 screws gets you in
Changing any of the components or the charge cable is very straightforward as long as you carefully note which wires and their colours go where before you remove any of them
Thanks, I did have a look inside and it does look fairly straightforward and I think the contractor is faulty, but I don't trust my own electrical handywork, particularly not when I will connect a brand spanking new Model 3 on it. My pessimistic mind already sees a Model 3 engulfed in flames on my drive 
.
Thanks for the link, might order the cable through them and get an electrician to fit.
