Just wondering what the experience has been like for people getting the official BMW charging point or one of the freebies/upgrades from British Gas, especially if you've had to have to some ground works done to lay the cable between your house and a separate building.
I had a disappointing non-installation with Chargemaster because I've got a car port which is separated from the external wall of my house by 3ft and the Chargemaster electrician said it would involve ground work to run the cable under the paving slab, and Chargemaster "don't do ground works". He said I'd have to get someone in to lay the cable between the car port and the house, and then he could just come back and connect the cable to the fuse box and the charging point.
I would have happily paid him to do it - and was half expecting to pay a bit extra - but that wasn't even an option, so I just wanted to know if anyone else has a similar situation but managed to get the installer to do the necessary work.
