Why non-OLEV? Because I can get the charger I want for £424.99 including VAT and Delivery.
When I did an enquiry on the Rolec site, their installer came back to me with a quote for a charger I don't want, with a contribution from me of £672 (plus the £500 from OLEV).
My CU is just the other side of the wall from where the charger will go. Cable run of 6 feet max.
House totally re-wired and certified late 2007. I was going to have 3 dual fuel heated towel rails, but decided against as I discovered the HouseHeat programmable system which allows me to control the heating for each room separately. So there is a completely unused place in the CU.
I would like the Rolec EVMM0020 32amp tethered J1772 MultiMode as it gives me an outdoor 3 pin socket as well.
That way, when it isn't on charge, we can vacuum and pressure wash the car. I appreciate that at that price the Rolec doesn't have a built in Meter and Comms unit, but if I don't have the OLEV grant, I won't need it.
So, if I notify Western Power (the DNO), get the electrician who re-wired the house to connect the charger and certify the install, then even if my sparks is now charging £50 an hour for three hours, I will get the charger I want for about £575. Not £672.
Can someone can see a flaw in the plan, or know of an OLEV installer who can supply and fit the approved version of the EVMM0020?
