Bit of a different twist on car related images, I’ve got a few quotes on chargers and installs but could do with some imagine of other installs for inspiration.
Straight forward 7kW type 2 home charger.

The UK OLEV chargers seems to offer a real mixture. I like the wallbox pulsar plus but seems it’s Spainish and the Uk having a potentially higher voltage (253v?) than europe at 240V can cause issues.

I like the Ohme function but it looks like a granny charger screwed to the wall with the cables at each end.

Don’t know if to avoid OLEV and consider alternatives, can’t stretch to the atheistically pleasing Andersen units.

Let’s see what pistonheads has got to power up their cars.
Cheers.

Nothing wrong with the Pulsar Plus, it conforms to UK specs, we fit quite a few (and plenty of photos on our site Gallery too).

It’s a round thing on the wall with cable wrapped around it. It’s highly uninteresting.

Well, as no-one else has posted a picture yet here's our home setup.



For some reason it refuses to display the correct way up.

Guess this thread ran out of ... charge? laugh

Maybe I’m overthinking it trying to get something that looks good! That or trying to settle the wife down it will be ok.

If you want something that doesn't look like a hosepipe, or some plastic carbuncle, then buy an untethered EO mini. Otherwise the only option is to "invest" in an Andersen.

Tis is what I have. Very discreet box on the side of the house.

The wifi box, etc is in the garage (could easily be in the electric cupboard as well).

The Anderson box looks lovely smile
