It looks fairly simple to fit, is it?

It took just under an hour at my house. I had a spare 32a terminal in the main fuse box and the cable run was about 5m.

The Tesla chargers off a 32amp blue command o socket. Took electrician under an hour to wire one in using the garage supply.

Are you allowed to fit these yourself ? I thought all non-plug and play electrical changes were actually illegal now ? ( i.e. you have to get a professional to do the job ) .

Chargemaster fitted ours. Really neat job

I called him while the wife was there to make sure he fitted it in the correct place, I nkenw it was raosting that day so I asked if my wife had offered him a drink yet, he said "no" so I called the wife and gave her his order. But make sure you get the glass back as he stole a rather nice San Miguel glass!!!
