Which brand do you use? I am looking to choose between the OHME and BMW wallbox. Which one would you choose and is it anything in specific I should look out for? Appreciate your answers. Thanks

After using a few chargers over the years, if you're not looking to use solar integration or anything complex then just get a very basic, simple charger and let the car do the controls. It's only an outdoor socket at the end of the day

They are all the same. Only consideration is if you want solar.
I’ve used Tesla’s, ABL, Garo, Zappi, Wallbox etc all on our BMW. The car is irrelevant. They are all the same connection.
I’d check out Forkearn as they seem to be open about pricing upfront.
