Electric car charger for home - which of these???

[BadActors]

Hi all,

We’re getting an electric car shortly through DH’s salary sacrifice scheme, and we can have a home charger installed as part of the package at no extra cost.

The four free charger options are:
• Ohme ePod
• Cord Zero – socket
• Indra Smart Pro – socket
• Myenergi Zappi GLO

If you have any experience of, or views on, any of these, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.

We’ve got the Ohme. It was tricky getting the app to connect in the first week, thereafter it’s been fine. And we use octopus EV for our power package.

what car are you getting?

We have an ohme and octopus for electricity.

we use a zappi with the Octopus EV tariff. no issues at all with it and we’ve had it for nearly 3 years now

Thanks all.
@HaughtyAndCold it's a Mini

We have a zappi. One problem on day 1 which the installer sorted out, no issues after that.

I’ve got an Indra: it’s ok although it disconnected itself from the WiFi and I haven’t been able to reconnect it - however it’s still usable!

Make sure your charger is compatible with your supplier.
Better still, make sure your car model AND the charger are supported by your supplier.
I bought an EV. Then we got a charger installed, selected from our supplier's list of supported chargers. 3 months later, they withdrew our charger from their list of supported chargers. This would have been OK IF the supplier supported my car, but unfortunately they don't (other models in the range? No problem. Mine? Nope). I went onto a fixed tariff before I bought the car, but will ensure whichever supplier I change to in the spring supports both the exact model and the charger.

I have an Ohme home pro. With octopus intelligence go tarif.

I knew nothing about electric cars or chargers until a few months ago but simple once you get going.

I think a type 2 charger is ok for most cars , Ohme seems quite popular for domestic chargers.

Mine's an Ohme ePod. It works fine, I should add, what I can't do is I get the 7p tariff with it. I have to pay the normal 28p-a-unit rate when charging, which is irritating.

Yes I sometime have to do night shifts so have to charge my car during the day , which is a lot dearer.

Still cheaper than petrol or diesel I think though..
