At long last I am getting my Wallbox Pulsar Pro from Scottish Power installed today! I had a £850 quote from DNO to install a substation which was swiftly queried and a load limiter placed on the charger instead. The price of £650 (grant included) was much cheaper than private electrician...

5 hours! Hopefully better than nothing!! Yes part of the £800 upgrade was a £90 cost for a 100A fuse upgrade . Actual cost of works was over £4000 but they seem to have dropped the price as it’s upgraded for many properties. Appeal due to be completed this week so hopefully I can get back on...

Thanks for the replies. Any advice on using a timer as mentioned above whilst I wait for the 7kW charger ?

I am not sure. I bought a wallbox off Scottish Power. Who subcontracted out to company who I sent pictures too/asked some questions about electricity usage and said that the DNO approval had to be done before they installed. Maybe because I am trying to get the £350 back off the UK government...

Was due to get a Wallbox home charger today however my DNO has came in last Friday and said that a 6 month and £800 cable upgrade to my rural property is needed. I have contested this after finding out the company installing grossly overestimated my peak electricity usage. Anyway .... I have...

Ordered early November and told arriving at dealers 14th Feb and ready to pick up end of that week. Looking at above replies not convinced 😬

No problem on the PDF. I don't have gas at my property so luckily just worried about electricity prices. I phoned Octopus Go thinking I was ready to switch didn't realise I needed actual possession of the car and charger. The wait continues ...

I bought an EV charger from Scottish Power for £600 and they directed me to a local EV company. I filled out a online survey just before Christmas and currently awaiting them to come out and do a site visit due to the non standard install. Still have £1000 to play with compared to the local...

Hi everyone. I contacted electrician to ask for a break down of the labour cost and haven't had a reply! Thanks for your replies. I am going to phone EDF and Scottish Power after work today to try get something penciled in soon. Anyone recommend other larger companies that are able to do...

Hi everyone, I placed an order early November for a MG5 and it's due to arrive by March. I am in the process of finding an electrician to do the home charger install and wondering if someone could check the quote below and confirm whether this is a reasonable price or not. Due to my fairly...
