    Ordered my Kona Ultimate 7th August, started the BP charger process on the 10th August.

    I already had a Smart meter smet2 and new metal consumer unit fitted.

    EON fitted my 100 amp double pole isolation switch 29 September.

    charger is to be located within 2m of my meter.

    Found out that despite having  a 100 amp fuse already fitted (confirmed that the fuse cartridge  is rated 100amp  by the EON guy) that I am looped with next door.

    Collected the car on schedule to the exact day predicted by the dealer at time of order 10th December.

    Driveway to be dug up on the 4th February final un-looping to be done on the 8th February.

    Only when I send photographic evidence that this work as been carried out, will PB even consider arranging a date to fit my charger.

    So well into 6 months and charger still not fitted yet despite me thinking mine would be a straight forward installation ???

    I gave up dealing with BP in October and have had Motability’s complaint team dealing with them on my behalf.

    But I’m absolutely loving the Kona it’s a brilliant car done 960 miles so far.
    I’m Granny charging via my garage overnight when required atm, bit of a faff but worth it.

    The savings compared to petrol is great too ?

    Will be so much easier when I finally get charger fitted, hopefully soon ?

    Oh yeah Total cost to me thus far £98 for the Isolation switch all other works including DNO digging and un-looping free to me.

    So a mixed bag for me but definitely would recommend going down the EV route to anyone, because the end result is worth all the hassle ?

    Good luck.
