I've had the Rolec Wallpod fitted at home under the scheme - very happy with it. I've seen prices on line for the Rolec products ranging from less than £100 (with 3 pin outlet) to £400-£600 for a plugged / tethered version. I'm guessing the difference is that the EVSE is then in the Rolec Pod rather than on the car's own portable cable. That said it still seems a hefty premium ?!
Various threads have remarked on the hassle factor of using the portable lead versus tethered so I guess I should refine the question to "what is the most cost effective way of installing a tethered chargepoint" (for those not eligible for grant.
The plan is to pay for my elec consumption to keep well away from any fuel / benefit in kind tax. I'll also be funding the install.
Maybe I should fit the cheaper Wall Pod and upgrade the module to a tethered version when costs drop (if thats possible) and live with the portable lead hassle in the meantime.
