Hi Kezo, Thanks very much for the detailed reply. Puts my mind at ease that it should be a simple install (famous last words). just got to decide on which car and take the leap. thanks, Ad1
There’s plenty who can help guide you towards or away from certain cars. What do you need and what will you pay for it up front? @Kezo, awesome replies mate, I might need your advice when the time comes. For info, I have a 10m charging cable and it’s quite a chore to unwind and rewind neatly because, as with most cables, once it starts to be wound up and unwound it’ll twist and it’s too thick to simply force around if your hands/wrists are weakened. The 5m cables are easier but the house and parking spot are some distance and, should I get a car with the charging port up front, it’s going to need all 10m. It also proves handy when someone’s blocked a charger and I can park 2 bays down and run the cable.
I try my best mate and happy to help, when I see posts like AD1’s and indeed provided lots of information in the Kona thread some time back. Its a forever changing industry for all of us but, can be costly keeping up with the regs. The Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, 5th Edition arrived through the letterbox at a discounted cost £70 for a bloody book!
I don’t do as much these days due to my health, most of my work based in the commercial sector fuel stations, large projects etc, with domestic work kept to a minimum especially when occupied lol!
I’m more than happy to assist you or answer any questions you have anytime, yo just need to shout out. I try to keep advice to the minimum ot to confuse on anything electrical based and indeed charge points along with with electronics which I’m still very much involved in.
Do you have a shared driveway or your charger located a distance from where you park your car at home?
