I just hope they don’t want to run cables from the incoming main to the charger as they can’t, they have to run from the second floor CU – its another 15m to the main one and through two floors of a listed building. The cable run is 25m already and must be run in the attic crawlspace, it’d be more painful and difficult to run it internally along walls as there are a series of doors & 1m thick stone walls to negotiate. I just don’t know why Motability chose BP Puse/Chargemaster, I mean, look at Trustpilot, the reviews are shocking!
Well, I think BP Chargemaster mentioned max run of 15 metres to me when they were trying to find a way out of doing the install, mine is 13 metres so they found another excuseby saying the path between my house & the allocated disabled numbered space in front is a public footpath despite it being on private land with no public right of way.
Good luck with BP Chargemaster, but be ready for plan B & C, which are B – getting your own installation done by a reputable company such as maybe Pod-Point, and C – putting in a 32A commando socket & using an OHME charger with its own cable. I did option C. I’d already researched Pod-Point as when I ordered my car it was to have a free Pod-Point put in courtesy of Peugeot, but Motability changed everything to BP Chargemaster & really messed everything up.
Just imagine the thought process behind Motability choosing BP Chargemaster….. something along the lines of “who is the biggest polluter?” ah yes, BP of course as they have a vested interest in selling fossil fuels & hence a good match for Motability who also seem to be in thrall to the fossil fuel industry.
Anyway, with the OHME charger on the commando socket I can have the charging done when electricity is cheapest, be that Octopus Agile or Octopus Go, BP’s offering isn’t so smart.
