Thanks for the sound advice! The Ohme charge unit reads incredibly well. However, on the Ohme page, I note they are offering the kit at £800 installed, which amounts to £500 after the OLEV grant. You mention that you managed to access an Ohme product via Octopus at £199. How did you manage that? I've had a look on the web and Octopus at first glance would appear no longer affiliated with Ohme, and certainly not offering nay discounts on the Ohme charger. Has their affiliation now revised to EO, as they seem to be marketing this product alone now?The other option (if you're a cheapskate like me) is to buy the Ohme charger from Octopus which is discounted to £199. I'm getting an electrician to fit a Commando socket to use with it. The Ohme is fully integrated into Octopus' Agile tariff so knows all of the charging costs for each 30-minute slot of the next 24 hours and can pick the cheapest charge times.
BTW, I've been on the list for a Smart Meter since March and have only just got my appointment for installation, 2nd November. There's quite a backlog. Apparently the slots are released every Monday morning - there's a page on the website you can go to to book, customer services gave me a URL to use for this and I just kept trying.
