The instructions are very clear. You connect one half of the kit inside your electricity meter box with the CT clamp and you can place the other half anywhere in your home.

Torque app and a bt OBD2 adapter should tell ya exactly what is going into your car. I have it, if I get a chance I'll plug in this weekend and see (I'm fully charged at the mo so I can't check).

I know I will get charged 0.29 cent per kWh if i use a rapid charger, but are there any other charges here.Introductory Offer €0.29 per kWh Subscription free. Save €5 per month for 12 months and get a lower kWh rate. Available when you sign up before the 30th of November 2019. We charge per unit of electricity known as Kilowatt hour (kWh). The mileage you will get per kWh will depend on your vehicle and driving style. Signing up is quick and easy.

In a year's time when the introductory offer expires they will start charging you €5 a month (I would switch to the pay as you go option t this point unless you use public rapid chargers an awful lot). The slower on street chargers are still going to be free for a while yet.
tom_tarbucket wrote: » Ah ok. 2 more questions; 1. Is there something where you get free credit also with these offers? 2. Is there an updated app for iPhone. I have “ecar connect” as in attached. I searched App Store but could not find an updated one. (Thought there was an updated one to allow you stop and start charging or something)
