Who should I contact to install an additional consumer unit for an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger?

Had an EV installer around today. Took a look around and decided it was too difficult to wire back to the existing consumer unit and the easiest option was to fit an additional CU in the meter box (the charger unit will be adjacent to it). He suggested that my supplier might be able to arrange it as the job would entail isolating the meter while the work was done. Is this something Ovo do or could arrange and if so how do I go about it? Chris

Can I get my smart Electric Vehicle (EV) charger moved to my new home?

Hi all,  We are current EV Everywhere customers with a smart charger fitted in July 19. We are now moving house and need to figure out what do with our smart charger. Ideally we’d have a charger fitted in the new house but I don’t know if we transfer kit from old house to be house? If we don’t transfer the charger would there be an additional cost as we have already used the government grant with the first charger?  ThanksRebecca

What size are my meter tails? Getting a 100 amp fuse and need to know if tails are 25mm or 16mm for EV charger

Hi all,I had an OVO SmartMeter installed in 2017.We've just bought an electric car (a PHEV - a second hand Mitsubishi Outlander).To fit a charging point in our driveway I've engaged ChargedEV, who have forwarded the enquiry to UK Power networks to install a 100 amp fuse.In advance of that I need to identify if our meter tails and consumer unit tails are 25mm (rather than 16mm).As I understand it, OVO 'own' the meter tails.I (or at least a qualified electrician) 'own' the consumer unit tails.UK Power networks 'own' that fuse.How do I work out what size the Ovo meter tails they are?(And any advice on the same for the consumer unit connection welcome!)Many thanks, Neil
