Don't forget if you have missed out you can apply for a grant from the UK government worth £350 iirc.
Then if you live in Scotland you can top up the UK grant with one from the Scottish government worth another £300 on top. That is probably enough to cover most of the supply and installation costs of a charger. |

Id like to get the supply done upfront, would a normal spur outlet left screwed to the wall be ok? |

If you need to know that you shouldn't be doing it , There are very tight Electrical Installation regulations now for this kind of thing . with all that current available fires can easily start with anything not done correctly .

I've given up waiting on Newmotion as they seem to be clueless and gone for the £500 cash offered by VCUK instead. I'm looking to get a Hypervolt charger installed - it'll cost £195 net but I think it looks like a better charger than the Newmotion one anyway. https://ianleechelectrical.co.uk/hyp...me-2-0-review/

It goes from a 32A RCD through the garage to the front of the house where the electrician joined it to the charger in a waterproof single unit enclosure. |

I've just been on to Volvo myself and getting my newmotion order cancelled and they are sending me the £500 good will gesture to get my own charging point. Quite a simple process from my experience, even through a 3rd party leasing company. I'm looking at the Hypervolt at the moment as it looks like a pretty good option. Just waiting for an installation quote.
Would be interested if anyone has had one fitted, or if anyone might have experience with other units. I know a lot of people who've got pod point installs done, but they seem a bit hit or miss. Also, anyone with a recently delivered T6 or T8 XC60? Did the cars come with both a 13amp charging cable, and a type 2 one as well? When I went to the dealers initially to look at a car, they said a type 2 cable would be £50 extra, but all the pricelists I've seen state it's already included. Would be interested to know. |
