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.......Anybody in the Glasgow / Edinburgh area have any experience of either Voltix or Bumblebee - would love thoughts / comments.....
Do you mind revealing the total cost please? DM me if you don't want to tell all!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.
Do get multiple quotes from different sources. I found my quote from Mr Charger very expensive. They didn't get the job.
Zappi isn't the cheapest charger on the market and so I reckon that price is proably about right.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.
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.Any recommendations for South East Wales anyone? Thanks
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.For anyone in Leeds I can thoroughly recommend Graham Scott at OLEV Approved EV Installations. I spoke with most of the local installers and some never showed up for surveys, others had massive waits, and many big outfits just wanted to do it there way with some armoured cable around the outside of the property from the meter box.
Installation was within a week of making contact Graham. He worked to my requirements and was more than happy with installing the specific Garo Type B + PEN fault unit that I wanted (I'd seen a lot of Tesla connectors installed with Type A RCDs, both on here and YouTube). Also, there was an option of fitting the wiring internally and with no visible cables which was great. Got all the installation certificate paperwork through within a few days.
I'm hoping to pick up my Model 3 in the next 10 days, haven't ordered the Tesla charger yet as looking around at others.
Anyone recommend an installer in the Reading or Bracknell area?
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.Can anyone recommend an installer in the Salisbury/Southampton area?
M3ER arriving in a few weeks.
Quite important to get it done as the nearest supercharger is 30 mins away.

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.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.
