Anyone have any experience, good, bad or indifferent of Eaton Green Motion Home charge points? I've been asked about these, so I'd like to give the impression that I know a little of what I'm talking about.
We have 2 PHEV vehicles in the family which we charge overnight in the garage, each car plugs into a normal 3 pin household socket. There is a small garage Hager consumer unit in the garage which has a 16A MCB protecting all the wall sockets which are wired with 2.5mm cable. The car chargers are...
Hi I’ve been asked to quote and install a ev car charger on a domestic property as I haven’t quoted for one before and I usually do price work not day rate what would your recommend I charge it’s a fairly simple job as the main fuse is in the garage where the charger will be installed on the...
I'll start by saying I don't install EV chargers and have not kept up to any great extent on regs changes etc but an existing customer has asked for a 13a socket for her EV granny charger in a 2nd home. (the previous outdoor socket has melted!).
After doing a bit of reading including 722 I have...
Customer asked me to look at their ev charger, I’ve turned up, but they’re not in. Typical.
I’ll come back on my way home later, but wondered if anyone knew how these things work.
Customer just said it wasn’t charging the car. No other details.
From google, it’s an old original bp pulse aka...
I was at my shed this morning, and something came to my mind about installing a charge point and taking payments for charging cars.
I say “shed” but it’s actually a large empty warehouse belongs my FIL. He bought it, then took it off commercial property, as it was only going to be used for...

Good afternoon, I have a 2 year old car battery (AGM 760 CCA) in a 2022 Hyundai that constantly "seems" to lose its charge. I'll check the battery during the day and, as an example, it will show 40% charge (12.2 volts). I put the trickle charger on it, and within about 15-20 minutes, the...
Can anyone please explain Construction Industry tax to me, and reverse charge VAT, as though I'm 7 years old please? It's all automated on my system but even after 18 months I don't really understand it.
Thank you
Help please! I need a Tesla Gen 2 EV charger fitted in my garage which is 22m from the consumer unit. My electrician is proposing to route a 6mm cable through pre-existing plastic conduit which has a cable in already and through a void in concrete walls to a sub-consumer unit at the charge...

A question perhaps for @Gavin John Hyde or others:
I have a potential customer who is looking for an EV charge point installed at his property to charge a company vehicle.
He needs to be able to generate usage reports for his employer to be able to claim back the cost of charging the EV.
Any...
Simple question: Is the charge controller in a Rolec tethered charger different from that in an otherwise identical non tethered one?
The non tethered charger (EVWP2020) serving my holiday cottages failed last week, with the blue light flashing faster, accompanied by a ticking sound, when a...
Assuming a large company needed a large EV charging infrastructure for its fleet to be electrified. Would it be best to just go straight for 150kW chargers? And if so, what would be the ideal setup (cable sizes for 150kW, connection to grid, load balancing, other equipment that might be needed)...
My FIL announces he's just bought a brand new hybrid Volvo, getting it in April.... Rather than speaking to me first, he's told the salesman his son in law, (ie me) will install a charge point for it.
Can anyone recommend the best charge point available, and more importantly, an easy to use...
