Octopus installed my Wallbox this morning. Took 3hrs. Guy was bang on time, very polite and kept me in the loop. Plus it cost about £100 less than I was getting quoted anywhere else.

UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations

My friend in Leigh has just had an install done with API Electrical with no issues and a speedy good install and my friend is happy with the job. They are based on the other side of Leigh from Wigan just off the East Lancs. They also have a good range of chargers and he had a Hypervolt installed. They had issues with the DNO as they didn’t want the full install to go ahead as they wanted to change the fuse to a 100 amp one despite the fact it already had one. The DNO are still insisting on swapping the fuse out, but API still came out and did it quickly as he got a cancellation and had the correct fuse.
I also attempted to have an Andersen installed by them at the start of June and I live in Wigan. The process was fairly smooth from them however it turns out that I’ve got a looped power supply so they can’t do it yet. The service from the DNO hasn’t been too clever though. They did a site survey at the start of July and despite 2 email queries and a phone call in recent weeks nobody can tell me why it’s not progressing.
These DNO issues with checking main fuses have been a total pain for lots of people. There needs to be some political pressure to point out to them that they need to get their act(s) together because it often seems that they are adding unnecessary complication and time wasting to the smooth transition to EVs that we want and need.

Anyone used Greenvoltz (https://greenvoltz.co.uk/ ) to install their charger? I'm looking at the Hypervolt and they are the local installer for me.
Anyone who can recommend installer in Brighton area - Gen 3 wall + maybe PowerWall(s)?
So far the people I have spoken to either very expensive or do not have any idea about how PowerWall works (I have an EE background so the usual "green dribble talk around the subject" does not go far with me.

I had my install done this morning. I live in a new build house (less than a year old) and it already had a basic Rolec charger installed (one with the 3 pin plug) which reading up was rubbish! Luckily the developer had installed everything correctly so it was a simple switch over to a new charger.
opted for the SyncEv, it looks smart and really happy with it so far. Had this installed by MrCharger, Martin was great. He gave me lots of advice and was on time and friendly. Based on Surrey but covers most of the South.
Roll on September 11th for my delivery!

Hi Dan
Mike from E-verve Energy did my Pod Point install (based in St Helens), he did a great job and it's all very tidy. (They do different charge points too, the Pod Point tether is a nice long 7.5m too)
Oh ok awesome, I will reach out to them. If you don't mind me asking how much did they charge you? Only had 1 quote so far at just over £1k.
