The distribution box in my house is under the stairs, in the middle of the house on a wall shared with the neighbour. This is obviously going to make the install more expensive as it has to be routed along the wall inside (through a room). I've been quoted £1600 for a Zappi installed. Does this sound about right?

Thank you all for your help.

I got the tesla charger from Amazon

Electrician fitted it for £380

And I will be changing over to octopus intelligent asap

All sorted!
Good result. Where are you based if you don't mind me asking? £380 sounds cheap especially when PEN fault detection device required is around £100-150. Was it via one of tesla recommended electricians on their website?

For my Tesla install (in London) I am being quoted around £500-600.

South west, just my normal electrician I've used before for automation stuff.

I had another quote at £820, so I agree it seems cheap, but I trust him, he said about installing the PEN stuff, and its working, so thumbup

I had solar installed recently and I asked the spark to come back and fit me a Zappi charger.

Bought the charger for £525 new, with warranty and spark is fitting it for £200, so £725 all in for the latest Zappi. Most places charging £1,200 ish for that, including install.
