Home Charger Advice

[Mike230]

Hi all

EV newbie here. We have a Nissan Ariya arriving in the next few weeks and I'm looking at home charger installs. Can anyone advise on which is the best model? Pod Point seems popular.

Also regarding my current energy supply, I'm with Utility Warehouse. They don't have a specific EV rate but would look to move me to a a tariff that is 32p kWh during the day and 5p kWh at night. Does this seem reasonable? The night rate certainly seems to be from what I've seen elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks for your response. I think we will probably need to charge twice a week, unless my wife starts having range anxiety. This is our first EV so it's all very new to us.

That overbight rate is very cheap. Haven't seen anything below 7.5p/kW (IOG). How long is the low rate period?
Fwiw we 3-pin charge our EV with octopus go but we sometime have to top-up during the day. Weve had to do this about 4 times in 8 weeks
Mileage in the last 8 weeks has been about 2500miles but that's probably lower than anticipated as we've had a few weekends away which we've used my diesel estate for and left the EV at home for cheap rate charging only

They are saying 7hrs. I've asked for them to send it through in writing. Happy to share the details once I have it.
