Zappi installation with CU

[bobbarley]

I bought a Zappi which arrived today and contacted my electrician to let him know we decided to go with that over a Wallbox. He said that he did some research and we will have to have a separate consumer unit added to drive the charger, due to the need for a surge protection device. Quoted an additional £95 on top of the £310 original quote.

Is that correct, that it has to go through a separate consumer unit?

Also, does £405 seem reasonable for getting an EV charger installed, £95 of that being the CU?

Myenergi have added extra protection to be fitted with a Zappi installation.
It has it all built in but they won't go out to warranty repairs with it.
