Anyone had one installed at home ? I’m getting a Nissan Leaf through work and wondering who is the best to use as there is so much choice

Are you a hairdresser ?
What happened to the Corsa?
Make sure you get the govt grant to cover some of the installation cost.

We used pod point, absolutely fine so far.
Are they still free ?

Nope, 500 odd quid and that's with the government grant included.
Wish mine was!

I was getting that because Nissan had suspended the lease scheme it’s back on so I cancelled that yesterday

Think it was free when it originally come in the scheme but it was a fortune to leas the car it’s only 180 for the 42kw or 210 for the 62kw leaf that’s with free insurance for 4 people now so maybe why you have to pay for charger

EVs are definitely the future so good choice.
Maybe worth browsing for tariffs to get cheaper electricity at certain times too
Steer clear of rolec chargers, never fitted one personally but have heard they have issues with the rcd burning out.

You fit the chargers ? I need one
Just through work on schools etc, done a few over the years. Check out zappi chargers. Not cheap but decent quality.

Thanks for that recommendation.
Just had a quick look and they look miles ahead of anything I found on Amazon as they intelligently action as a dump for available excess solar as we don't sell back to the grid here and it's an opportunity to charge for free.
Yeah they are quality. If you are going to spend 35k on a car you might as well buy a decent charging point.
