Hi, I'm talking to a few electricians about fitting a home charger and have decided that, because of the complicated nature of the cable run, I will get my usual handy man to run the cable or run a draw chord in advance of the electricians coming to fit the charger - this should hopefully end...

I’ve have a home Podpoint installed for the the last years, and all is fine, but recently, although it still charges my Zoe, the Podpoint app on my phone isn’t showing me the charges I’ve done at home. It shows charges on public charge points, but none at home. Any ideas why not?
