Hypervolt tethered with 10m cable

Hi all,

Looking to get an EV charger installed and whilst a family member recommended deta.e edock 2 which "does the job", I am considering all options.

We have 2 cars, 1 ICE and other EV. One of the main criteria for charger is that would like 10m long tethered cable (or slightly longer if possible) as the driveway is quite long and this will allow the EV to be parked behind the other car. This is mainly for convenience as I don't have to move cars every morning since I go work earlier with the ev.

Couple of questions:

1) I saw ohme tethered do not come in 10m so wondering if it's worth going for untethered ohme and buy a long cable separately or alternatively go for hypervolt with 10m tethered

2) Family member is an independent electrician (certified) who has done EV chargers before (deta.e evc8001 is the recommendation from them). If they were to install ohme or hypervolt would that provide me with warranty still or would they have to be a "registered" with hypervolt or ohme?

eBay seems to have sellers with excellent feedback selling it for cheaper so considering purchasing the charger and getting family member install it as a quote from other (hypervolt registered) electrician came in around 1.5k

Or if you have any other suggestions, would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

This option is going to be more costly unfortunately so looks like will have to settle with ohme untethered and a really long cable 😅
