I've had a few quotes for a home chargepoint, and I had a full site visit today as well. The guy doing the site visit said the install would actually be super straightforward - barely any cabling needed at all, which is nice. The one iffy thing is the house is apparently on a 60/80-amp fuse, and he's not allowed to see whether it is actually 60 or 80. To avoid a potentially long delay (at my insisting) he recommended a chargepoint that can do load balancing, like ProjectEV or Zappi. I've heard good things about Zappi, but was under the impression they are pretty expensive. However, he just sent the quote over and I was pleasantly surprised. He can either do a ProjectEV chargepoint (untethered) for £570.62 installed (though I'd need a type 2 cable on top of that if I don't want to constantly get my car's cable out...) or he can do a full Zappi (with hub, Harvi, and tethered 6.5m cable) for £845.66.
Anyone have experience with both of these and able to give a recommendation? I'm pretty tempted to go for the Zappi, since I have heard such good things about it (and I do have solar). Especially since once you factor in a cable, the ProjectEV charger would only be ~£100 less...
Best part is he thinks he can get either one installed this Friday, which is pretty great.
