I’m collecting my first electric car (MG5 EV estate) on 22nd March, and was informed 3 months ago about unlooping my electricity supply and having to install an isolator switch.
I have to admit that my initial reaction was to leave it and go petrol or hybrid! However, the whole workload was taken off my hands by BP Pulse (who Motability use) and Western Power (our supplier).
An appointment was made to dig a hole in my drive last Thursday (10th Feb) , the technicians arrived yesterday (Tuesday 15th Feb) to unloop and install the switch and at 8am this morning (16th Feb) workmen took 15 minutes to fill the hole leaving my drive spotlessly clean! Specialists are due later today to reinstate the brickwork on the drive.
Western Power have been in constant touch with me to keep me updated and I’ve already praised them for the way in which the work has been co-ordinated.
Let’s hope BP Pulse keep up the fantastic service because it can’t be faulted so far.
