sorted byThese should be like £100-£200 when you look at the price of similar electrical appliances. When you can get a 9kW electric shower for example for less than £100, is it really more expensive to produce one of these things?
The charger at my previous address was free. IIRC the standard cost (after the grant) was £199, and Renault covered this cost as part of the car purchase. That was in 2015. To go from that to ~£1,000 is just nuts.
The granny charger that came with your car is not designed for constant use it's designed for getting you out of a hole. It's also not as safe electrically speaking should a fault like a loss of earth develop.
"New peak pricing at electric car chargepoints can leave consumers worse off than if they stuck to traditional petrol-engined vehicles, according to new analysis from the AA...."
Electric cars appear to be similar to heat pumps, the hype says they work out cheaper, but the reality is different.
And then 500 quid to connect this cable to the consumer unit.
These electric cars almost sell themselves dont they.
I've moved house and put a regular 2.3kW 3 pin charger (outdoor weatherproof plug, killswitch inside) that cost little over £100, and if it broke, it'd cost very little to fit a new one in.
It does mean my car charges in 12 hours rather than 5, but I can't say I've missed the 7kw charger since moving. Even out and about, I just stick to 50kw or more as 7kw just isn't worth it. (edited)
