Has anyone had the VW home charger fitted yet
£1000 seems a lot compared to other units on the market

I cancelled my order 2 weeks ago after receiving an email advising "significant delays"
I am currently using a granny cable and local Pod Point at Tesco. So far, so good. But if this is not adequate I will rethink, but not pay £1000+ for the VW charger.

I decided to get a Zappi, with solar panels it can adjust charge rate to match their output. I have only used it in this way once so far!

I needed to upgrade the electrics to may garage so add in cost for long cables, consumer unit etc. I went for the Zappi but between quotes I saw significant variation in labour costs. Having seen the install videos for the Zappi it is a straightforward install.

I had a Pod-Point installed with 7.5 metre cable documentation is a bit complex but all installed within two weeks and is working well.

I’ve ordered one but have been trying to amend the order to include the longer cable. ELLI do not reply to emails. Is it easy to cancel the order?

I cancelled my elli order because, AFTER placing order, it became evident that delivery was some weeks away. I ordered a podpoint @ circa £550 installed (with benefit of government grant). Installed yesterday. Working well so far.

Picked up my ID.3 today, and am having a Pod Point 7kW installed at home next Tuesday - my neighbour has the same for his eNiro.
