I couldn’t get the OLEV grant so I installed a 32A commando socket. Dumb as a box of rocks and 100% reliable.
With my Model 3 sat on the Glovis Cosmos (hopefully) I need to sort out my home charging.
I'm not elligible for the OLEV grant due to not having an off-street parking space and I've already had a local electrician come around (commercial guy that I've used before at work) to have a look and spec up and he's quoted £400 for labour and materials to install a Tesla Wall Charger. Probably less than I was expecting in reality.
However I probably need a 7-10m cable and the way tethered cables wrap around is pretty untidy given mine's going to be right next to my front door so I prefer the neatness/discreetness of untethered/universal chargers.
At the moment it's like getting blood out of a stone to find out if I can even buy chargers without installation. I've had 6 emails back and forth with EO just repeating myself and I still don't know if they sell their charges and how much it would be without installation.
Same for Podpoint; their website is pretty straightforward if you want installation, but no idea if they sell them without.
What charger (preferably untethered) is everyone else using? Did you buy it standalone or did it have to be installed by the company?
What is the benefit of a 'dedicated' EV socket over a 32A commando? Do Type 2 sockets even lock at the opposite end to the car?
I don't think EO has a subscription as the smart charger uses your own Wi-Fi. I think one of the other brands uses a SIM card and there is a subscription involved in that, but even then you dont have to carry on with the subscription and the charger reverts to being dumb - which suits most people with Teslasthe problem with EO is after 3 years there is a monthly subscription to keep it smart, so for this reason I have second thoughts.

I hear EO is £2.50 a month for the use of their reporting features, its been confirmed by EO there will be a fee after 3 years.
Is it ‘normal’ for the cable going from the consumer unit to the charger to be warm while the car is charging? Any issue with it ?
