Right then, order is placed for my i3 REx, hoping for it to land late February spin

I've started looking at domestic charge points and I'm now more confused than I was before I started. I've already got an outdoor 13a socket at the end of my drive, although it's on my ground floor mains circuit, so I'm not sure if it could trip when I had the car charging, TV on and washing machine going for example.

I was considering BMWs basic iwallbox because I don't have any renewable energy sources at home and it's relatively cheap, but I've had a quick Google and there's a number of different charge points which you can have fitted at home all at different prices and charge rates.

Am I complicating things by moving away from the BMW charge point, or are there others which I should consider?
