<p style=”text-align: center;”>Hi just thought I would share my experience of getting the Ohme home pro as some people are not having a great time.</p>
My experience was great .

I got a text from ohme on Thursday the 18th of Jan and filled it all in on fruday 19th in the moring with photo’s,  I couldn’t be bothered to draw the picture for instalation.

Then later that day Voltech had messaged me asking some simple questions and I responded and also made sure I was getting the 8 meter cable.

On Saturday moring I was booked in to have it fitted today.

And 830am voltech arrived and left at 10.30 ish .

All fitted with 8 meter cable, very tidy job it actually looks better that I thought.

But a big thanks to motability , ohme and voltech.

All fitted in well under a week .

I’m due to have my survey today I would do it myself, but there is the minor inconvenience that I am blind and I cannot take the pictures, I hope that when the survey is done, I get the charger as quick and without any issues I think it has a lot to do with the contractor that is sent to the charger

This would be correct but can also be on Ohme’s part like I experienced in my latest post – approved by Ohme, installer aborted on the day due to legal issues surrounding parking – big headache.

Where is your meter  and fuse box in relation ?

[Petrol-Head]

Meter is just out of sight on the left

And the fuse board it literally just behind the charger .

I git him to put the surge protector just under the meter as I didn’t want any more fuss on the wall.

I can take a pic of the inside if you want to see the surge protector.

Its a neat install on the outside wall 🙂

I’d be interested to see a pic of what they have done inside.

That’s as messy as it gets inside

[kezo]

I was a little concerned when you soley mentioned SPD but I can see its a dedicated consumer unit for the charger now, with and SPD, MCB, RCD/RCBO inside 🙂

[Ioniq]

Thats a good sparks that installed that. Very neat install.

Thats how its supposed to work, a good clean, quick install.

In the last few weeks I’ve completed the Ohme survey, had ProEv fit my charger and today national grid upgraded my electrics. The initial survey was a bit to do, but the whole process had been easy, fitting of the charger was great and tidy, and now my electrics are all upgraded and ready to go for my Ev when it arrives. A good experience with the whole process here. ??

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Some members are having a rough time.

So hopefully we are giving people hope .

We had our ohme ev charger fitted just before Christmas

[Southamman]

Mine too was easy, ohme epid ordered and fitted in a week, no hang ups, no issues whatsoever

[Petrol-Head]

Did you get the 8 meter tethered.

We have always dad a tethered charger and I don’t personal know anyone who has.

[1961keightley]

Yep

just waiting to use it

hopefully they get solar compatible

[PeterF]

Seems like a nice tidy install. I’ll be showing this pic to my installer 🙂

I sent my survey Monday just gone, call on Wednesday to book in, appointment at the end of the month (by choice, could have had much sooner).

Did the 8m cable cost more to install?

Just got the first electricity bill, looks like everything is working as it should 🙂

Rate              Consumption      Cost
7.14p/kWh    103.9 kWh        £7.421
28.17p/kWh  57.4 kWh          £16.179

That’s over 11 days, prices are +Vat of course 🙂

Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
