20th Nov: Domestic Bliss - Home Charging Activated

I'll be honest, where I live, unless you have an external plug socket (and a lot of time), completely relying upon public charging points is a bit of a pain in the bum.  This means that having a domestic charging point installed is really the best option.  I have been enjoying driving EV - I love a gadget and this is one of the largest I suppose that I'll ever get - but, I'm a single mum, I work full-time and have a chronic illness, so I can't really afford the time to go out of my way everyday finding public charging points.  Needless to say, I was extremely excited about the domestic charging unit install today.

I've been talking to Marie from SOL Electrical who is absolutely lovely and a fellow Renault Zoe owner.  Marie arranged for Simon (the electrical installer) to be at my house for 7.45am ready for the big install.  True to their word at 7.45 Simon, and all the Rolec bits and bobs were there.

 Mine isn't the largest of electricity cupboards, but Simon achieved it anyway...




After only a couple of hours, my charging point is up and ready to go.  Simon did a great job; it was all very easy, stress free and had perfect results.  I'm a happy EV owner today.
