if it’s any consolation i’m in exactly the same position – BP insisting on double pole isolation switch – so octopus came to do this and smart meters all going ok till the fitter looked at the fuse ( old one) he pulled it to discover at some point it had blown and been ‘bodged’ and he wouldn’t replace it and aborted the install – i had to call our DNO who then refused to work on the fuse as they couldn’t fully get to the area because of a kitchen cabinet.
the DNO did replace the fuse but at that point we had been without power for 8 hrs – very upset wife – if we want the fuse done and to unloop from next door as well we will need to have the kitchen cabinet taken out – the DNO said it will need doing at some point soon as he implied it’s very old – he wasn’t being an arse but tbh i’m questioning the whole EV thing as it seems to be set up to be problematic
i may go granny charger with the ohme cable from octopus but i’m interested in the card from MB – anyone have any info on that?
good luck with your install
