Any one got both a smart meter and dumb meter for cross checking the figures? Or what about a separate supply for the charging point?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Why would having an EV charging point installed by a local electrician require your supplier to be involved fitting a new meter? Is this actually a requirement?
One could surely fit a charger themselves if comfortable with home DIY electrics.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

But either way I can find no indication you must have a smart meter for an EV charger. However, if you want an EV-friendly tariff then your supplier might require an eco7 meter fitted and they may say "we only fit smart meters now".
We managed to get an eco7 one fitted (for EPC reasons) and requested a 'dumb' one but this was a few years ago. People who fear their usage data being known may choose to look online how to stop their smart meter reporting, I suppose. Obviously we wouldn't endorse that.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
