Had my Easee charging point installed by Connor some weeks back. Only just had opportunity to test it with arrival of car. A very professional job. Managed to install with no visible wiring in a tight cupboard space. System has charged the car fine. Connor took tine to take me through the installation and registration with the app. Price as quoted and a constant communication about requirements and unlooping issues with the house electricity supply. Would very much recommend.

API weren't the cheapest or the most expensive, but seem to me to occupy the sweet spot between the two. My installation was completed within the time frame I requested, and the guys who came to do the work were friendly and helpful. API's systems for producing quotes, invoices and making payments etc. are very smooth, easy to use and quick.

I went for the zappi charger. Great product fitted on time with no fuss by API. Easy to deal with from start to finish and simple to use instructions given by the fitter.

They just installed a charger for me in North Wales and I’m very happy with the result. The information gathering process is thought through snd streamlined. In the day the engineer was professional and friendly. The install is excellent and I have no qualms in recommending this company to do EVCP installations.

Great, we used API to fit a Zappi car charger at our house, they quoted on the Zappi installer quote tool on Myenergi's website. They were cheaper than the others by quite a long way and we arranged the appointment easily, although we had to have a fuse upgrade first which Northern Powergrid charged us £1000 for. API were helpful in arranging everything. The guy who came to fit was very helpful, just got on with it, no problems. The charger is great.

A thoroughly professional EV charger installation from API. Good communication throughout, bumped me up the list when my EV arrived early and a quick, professional and neat installation on the day. Would definitely recommend.
