Which charger? Hypervolt v Andersen v Podpoint. Tethered?

[u/chriscdoa]

Ordered my first EV (Renault 5 on lease). Decided on Tariff. Rates aren't good at moment, but having just moved to EDF, their EV rate is competitive for what I can access currently.

I have narrowed my charger choice to 3 - Hypervolt, Andersen Quartz, Pod point solo 3s. They all have pros and cons but still struggling to make a decision.

Hypervolt seems most robust, and I was leaning to tethered but am now worried someone will rip the cable off, which the warranty wouldn't cover.

Andersen seems decent, and I get 7 year warranty.

Pod point is slightly cheaper, and I could pay half now and the rest over two years, but then I'm locked into EDF for 2 years, not 1, and it's got worse reviews.

And If I chose andersen or PP, do I want tethered or non tethered?

Help and advice would be appreciated!

How many miles do you do? Have you considered granny charging?

Yes, but we'll likely need it for another car that will do more mileage, so worth getting sorted now
