For £1343.00, they would be running the cable from inside my front door (electric box inside) along the bottom of a wall to my driveway ( in front of 5m garden/grass), then digging a small hole, placing a post base, pouring some concrete in and finally fitting and OHME Home Pro post to the base. No trenches, no major groundworks and apparently this could affect the warranty and CAN only be done by OHME’s “specialist installers”. Absolute tosh, anyone with a nuance of DIY could complete this work at a fraction of the price. Just a total rip off, preying on the misfortune of Motability’ disabled customers. At least the normal person can tell OHME to stick it if they came back with such ridiculous quotes. The Motability customer has that option, but has the forfeit the “Free Charger” offer they accepted when placing their EV order. This is just not fair and Motability need to step in and sort this out, as I suspect a lot of Motability customers will think they are getting a good deal and pay up.
if you got the groundwork done and called a local electrician to install the charger, your looking at £80 more than Ohme are charging for non standard work. Take into account Motability pay for standard installation up to the value of £800, which includes the charger, 15m of cable, electrical certs etc. Making a grand total of about £2150 Ohme gets for the job!!
