“Nice charger when it’s working but the smart part is about as useful as a lighthouse in the Saha. Nothing but problems. Big money for an outside socket.”

“It’s now 5-1-21 and my home charger still don’t connect to my internet. I have made phone calls and was told a engineer needs to come back out and connect or fit a new charger. Since it’s been fitted I’m charging on the higher rate and still no one has contacted me to come and sort the problem out.
Cheers

“This has been one of the most frustrating times of my life . It has taken months to organise this charge point. It would have been easier to negotiate Brexit.
The lack of communication between octupus, eo. And ev . Should not really be my problem. Wether the staff are working from home or a different planet is of no concern to me . But the installer attends and expects the charger to be sent to me the customer. So no installation there then. The following week the charger is posted to myself but no ct clamp to link the solar power. Which was discussed with eo months before . Please give your heads a wobble and work together for the customers. This is not pass the parcel !!”

“I am very unimpressed with your app. It took many attempts by the installer and myself to set it up. So far as I can tell I have been able to use the app to select the Octopus Go tariff. But the app seems incapable of reporting charging sessions which have occurred under that tariff (I can tell that they have occurred, and when, because of information about half hourly usage on the Octopus web site and I can also see that the car has been charged).”

“Installation was a very good experience - nothing to do with EO. The product (socket) is simple and good looking. The accompanying app is, thus far, way below par. Installed Thursday, 10/09/20 and contacted app developer with a query and still waiting for a response. At the moment, I just have a very expensive outdoor socket. Not sure where the smart has gone as it doesn’t seem to want to talk to my phone.”

“Uninformed staff, potentially unsafe installation, several errors made, no contact from EO after Octopus washed their hands of the matter. Other than that, yeah great! Very unhappy charger, Charlie! Lindsay Porter, Member of the Guild of Motoring Writers.
PS I'll just pop this on Trust Pilot so others can know...”

“Installer was always looking to make more money and giving excuses and increased my price from given quote of 550 pounds to 850 pounds.....I understand some increase but they took advantage or have to wait for more long term”
Hi Naveen,
Sorry to hear that you were not happy with the installation provider we recommended. We refer our home charging installs to a carefully selected number of installers who in most instances carry out a remote survey to determine whether the installation is standard or if any extra work is needed (for example additional CT clamps).
That said, we appreciate that the surveying process may not have been best in your instance and have flagged your feedback to our Home Install team who are currently reviewing your case and will get in touch shortly.
In the meantime, if you have any question feel free to contact us on hello@eocharging.com.
“App simply does not work. Scheduled charging not working. Achieved charge rate notification does not work - states low rate completion when charging is in fact complete.”

“App very slow, with very basic and missing functionality, it won’t even calculate the cost of charging. The unit is small but needs a similar size unit inside the house and two cables to connect to the unit outside. No suitable to use with third party apps.”

“The software in the current “smart chargers” is what I would describe as alpha code, it’s not fit for purpose! It has so many bugs it’s now at the point I’m going to have it removed, charging when it shouldn’t, not charging when it should resulting in myself incurring additional costs and more importantly time on my journeys as the car isn’t charged when I wake up in the morning, it’s simply isn’t up to the job.”
