Does anyone have the Honda E:NY1 ?

Also what suggestions to look at home charging.

I'm with Octopus, if that helps.

I have OHME charger and I am with Octopus on Inteligent Go.
It does not limit you to overnight charging as Octopus lets OHME know when the you can charge according to grid demand.

May work with other chargers as well.

I know OHME users have a dedicated forum on the web worth checking for others.

Thanks. Helpful.

I was also wanted to know if Octopus arrange the installation of the charger and if not where to look for info about installations.

Octopus will if you so wish arrange installation of a charger, though any competent electrician should be able to do. Cheapest tariff with Octopus is inteligent go, which gives 6 hrs at 7.5p now, though peak rate is a kittle mor3 than the variable rate, so make sure you will be charging often enough to make it economical

I had Octopus install my chargepoint, an Ohme Home Pro. They put a new consumer unit for the charge point, independant of the main consumer unit. They are very exact when it comes to the regs, which isn't a bad thing I suppose going forward. For example, my charge point is down the garden mounted on my garage wall. I had to dig the trench for the cable, 450 deep and in a twin wall ducting or 600mm deep for armoured cable.( as thats what the regs say)
I stuck to 450 deep and ran twin wall ducting for them to run the cable.
I am on Octopus Versatile, and having added up the whole costs, to change to Octo Go would have been more expensive over the everyday 24 hrs. I let my Ohme charge point control the charging of the van
