Hi - does anyone have any experience of the lead in time between placing an order with OVO and getting an EV Charger installed? Trying to work out if I should use them or use a different company to get this done.
Thanks
Matt

How long does it take for the charger to be installed once ordered from OVO?

Hey
The timeline would be as follows:
- Compare and choose a charger
- Answer some questions to get an accurate quote
- Book the installation
- We’ll install your charger in as little as three weeks. Please note - installation times may vary depending on engineer availability and District Network Operator (DNO) application time.

I’ll ask internally for you and pop back to this topic.
It took 14 days from first contact to actual install for me - this was back in April. I might just have been lucky, though...
