After singing the contract systems and staff let the process down. I had to chase many times, navigate IT without support, didnt hear back from general help email address on more than one occasion. Pre-install engineer visit suggested significant works (£600 - 800 to be delivered by someone else prior to charger install) would be required to install EV inline with Octopus standards. An electrical engineer wouldnt complete the works as didnt think they were required.
Octopus EV install team were the only positive, Lee and Martin were exceptional, agreed with the electrical engineer were able to install without additional works outlined by the pre-install visit engineer. They worked quickly, made every effort to make adjustment to protect the property and go the job done. As an aside, it was only luck that enable both members to be on site, as another job was cancelled. Key information about the install, need for armor cabling and two persons hadnt got to the install engineer Martin. He rang me the day before as he was returning from holiday and though it wise to check on details of the job. Something he didn't have to do.
