don't they need to be smart to get the grant?
They have to be on this list: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1010750/electric-vehicle-homecharge-scheme-approved-chargepoint-model-list.csv/preview
But the answer is that of 517 approved units, 517 are "Smart chargepoints".
But then... if a family member is an electrician and you've got the unit at cost... the benefits of the grant aren't going to be much more than having the family member install it.

VW E-Up! has been ordered. Now to work out which home 7KW charger to get.
Am I going to regret not getting a smart one?
A family member is an electrician that has recently done an installer course but not installed any yet. I am just after the charger unit which will hopefully be on the side of the garage.
