It is a minefield dealing with Ohme. Then again, most installs are quick and painless. Its the complicated ones where Ohme falls short.
Motability contract the charging to Ohme, who contract out to a national, which then gets contracted out to a local company/sole trader. What can go wrong!
The survey should be mandatory that it is but, to ensure carried out by an onsite survey by the actual installer . Not only because we are disabled, but to physically check ensuring everything is in order and safe and a maximum demand calculation done by phsically checking the ratings of MCB’s etc. There would be less error such as the on @MFillingham encountered and alarming the DNO, they had to send a letter, along with the numerous other members I have helped.
Installers should be limited to one or two instals a day, as they would if it was their own work. There would be less installation errors would be caused some of which are dangerous, such as what happened to @Burgerman333 AKA ELE, when their Easee charger was replaced.
EV ultra cable should be used in all situations, rather than SWA or tuff cable with a seperate run of CAT 5. EVUltra clips or similar should also be used, so the customer isn’t left with a property looking like an industrial or commercial unit,oh and = not to forget some of them need a spirit level.
Yes the process could be alot better.
And it is a shame that Easee in no longer an option on the scheme (Had mine for just a few months and it also looks better imo) Add on multiple chargers from the 1st install although this can split the charger speeds between each or if I remember correctly you are able to set up and just charge one if you wish on full charge speed once completed it hops over to other chargers that are plugged into the queue.
Easse are everthing Ohme need to be as are others. There are not many chargers on the market that don’t have wifi ethernet and sim all built in them, able to be linked or have solar compatibility.
Easee build quality is also excellent, which is why it is one of my goto 22kW chargers.
