  • are all of the home chargers pretty much the same? anything i need to know - what is nice to have, etc?

  • Only experience of the one we have but I think they are much of a muchness. Tethered or not is one decision. Ours has the option to add solar feed-in (if we ever get round to / can afford panels) which seemed like a decent bit of future-proofing. Scheduling done via the car, so no need for yet another app. So just a box on the wall that I plug in in the evening when needed and unplug in the morning good to go.
    We got ours for free with the car lease, but I won't otherwise recommend then as installation was a shitshow. Car delivered mid Nov. Finally got the charger in March. If 'non-standard' installation (eg very short run from fuse box) you can get stung for added costs. Very high demand now so might be worth checking availbility before you commit.

  • Sort of depends what car you're getting. If it's a Tesla, I highly recommend a tethered cable as Tesla recommend you keep the car plugged in all the time. Most other manufacturers only really ask you to plug in when charging.

    We've got two EO Mini Pro and they've been faultless from a usability standpoint and they're nice and small. Installation was a PITA though as having two meant needing a CT clamp to monitor and manage one of the chargers to avoid blowing the main fuse.
