you are probably paying extra for the 10m in addition to the 6.5, if you only think you need 7 it'd been worth dummying up a length of hose or something at the stock 6.5m to see if it would do first, assuming you haven't done that already, I should have done this 
Yup grants are gone and other costs have gone up. Zappi unit is ~800, 10m cable about £150, never mind the additional bits that might be need from consumer unit. Hypervolt is cheaper.

@Simon there is no way to tell if that is an excessive price or not without knowing more about the installation itself, it could be simple in which case £1300 is a lot, it probably isn't straight forward (few are in reality) in which case its probably fine.
The charge point is £800+ plus materials and sparks round here charge £70+ an hour. It took them more than half a day to install my Hypervolt so they wouldn't have been going on to another job that day.

For clarity, I was responding to @Simon on the previous page. I've edited to make that clear
Yeh got the break down and pretty much £360 in materials (extra CU) £360 labour. Supply Cable would run under two floors - suspended wood from back of house to front

Maybe after 15 year's price's may go down a little.
Not when I said I’d take the floor up so he just has to clip to the joists. Anyway soon eats into any fuel savings !
Ah you mean from MCU to the Zappi itself, that's was about £15 a metre for me, I thought you meant a new 10m tethered type 2 cable for the Zappi.
I did 7.5m to 10m is £30 more.
But you are if you move house
Indeed but it’s swings and roundabouts.
When the housing market gets back to being somewhat more stable, it will probably make your property easier to sell. Same goes for solar.
Houses with charge points or have the ability to have one easily installed (E.g. off street parking) will command even more of a premium than they do now.
No different to a quooker tap or built in appliances tbh. Just the cost is insane if you ask me. Electric showers seem to be no effort and seems it’s a EV owner tax tbh. £700 for a fancy switch. But hey
That's cheap both hypervolt and zappi quotes for me were £60 for 7.5 and 120 to 160 for 10m, perhaps they now sell it with those options by default rather than junking original cable for new one.
