Looking to get a charging point and there seems to be a variation in prices between charging points available

I narrowed it down to the 3 below, anyone have experience of using any of these? or any others to consider?

All 7kwh,
Podpoint £359 after grant
EO mini pro £495 after grant
BP chargemaster £449 after grant

Also seen Rolec have one for £295?

Coming back to this, I’m about to go ahead with the podpoint which seems like a middle ground between the Rolec and the mini pro and bp Chargemaster.
Podpoint said they will be doing an update over the air so you can set charge times and stop charging via the app like the mini pro
Atm the availability seems to be 7kwh or 22 but I understand 22kwh is not available for the majority of homes.
Are we going to see something better than 7kwh charge points anytime soon or will that be the best available for now? Thanks

Yup was thinking Etron here. Will take around 11/12 hours for a full charge. If say 11kwh were to become available it would make it easier for an overnight charge but guess 7kwh will have to do for now.

Looking to buy a type 2 to type 2 cable,
Anyone have any websites for recommendation?
Found Evcables.co.uk the cheapest and also comes with a 5 year warranty. Anyone used them before?

I used evonestop.co.uk no complaints from me. Bought 3 things so far: type 2 to Type 1 (5m) for the outlander, type2 to type2 (10m) for tesla and type t2 to type1 converter so I can get rid of the 5m cable.
Thanks, ordered from their Black Friday deal so around £145 all in
