Interestingly the free one says “no charging cable model”, whatever that means…

The Ohme E-pod is an untethered charger. So it’s a wall socket without an attached cable (you supply your own or use the one with the car). I have one and works just fine. I like the fact that you can remove the cable if you are away.

I have had my email from octopus and the following options:
Ohme ePod - included
Ohme home pro - £100
Hypervolt home 3 pro - £150
Ohme home pro - £150
Hypervolt home 3 pro - £250

Any suggestions? It’s my first EV, I may be getting a second in December but may opt for hybrid at that point. Wondering if, given the discount, the more expensive ones are worth the upgrade?

Thanks - sounds so obvious like you explain. Something for me to consider!

If you don't take the charger you should still get the others components of the Ford Power Promise by the looks of it. Any idea if that includes the octopus credit if you're already with octopus?

I've done a lot of research of Chargers and the Hypervolt Home Pro 3 comes out highly regarded and good future proofing as integrates with Solar if needed at any point. I would have ideally gone for their 7.5m cable but Octopus only offer 5m or 10m versions. Hypervolt also works with OVO so if you ever want to change energy provider it opens that avenue as well, with EDF about to launch the Hypervolt via themselves.

The free servicing is definitely included, had this confirmed in my deal. The 10k miles credit wasn't though.

What dealership am I best contacting for this now then?

Ford Middlesbrough still had some left at this cheaper price.

Ask for Carl. I’ve paid £149 deposit x £149 payments over 23 months. 5k miles. Charger etc included.

Thank you! I actually have solar panels. The FIT rights have been sold to a third party but I can use what I generate… so this sounds sensible to take with this in mind

I went for two of these. Select trim and added the winter packs. £150.03. One for wife and one for the kids to share as their old hack is costing me too much annually in big bills.

Watford for the deal but my friend got one at Reading too.

[SkinnyPete]

As someone who knows very little about lease deals, this seems extremely cheap? Even the excess mileage charge is reasonably.

How does servicing and tyres work on a lease deal? Not that I’d expect to get through a set in 12,000 miles/2 years.

Unless you tick “with maintenance” and pay additionally then it’s not included.

[chrisch77]

Servicing interval is 2 years, and I was told by the salesman that you just hand the car back at the end of the 2 years without needing to have it serviced. You will be on the hook for consumables, so tyres are the obvious expense to consider as possibly required whilst you have the car, maybe wiper blades etc, but nothing major that you need to go near the main dealer for.

[interstellar]

The car comes with a free 5 year service plan and it won’t need tyres unless you are doing loads of miles.

Has anyone had a quote for the Sound Edition?

[nickfrog]

That's ridiculous pricing. There is about £65 of opportunity cost saving too compared to say a £15k car, and VED included. So £75/month compared to buying second hand. And no tyre/servicing/MOT/warranty/repairs costs.

If that's what's coming for EVs then ICE will die out quicker than originally thought.

Any chance of finding a contact name for the sales person at Reading? As mentioned above, they (bloke called Ashley) categorically told me on Friday that they were not going to honour the £139 deal…?
