Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Steve Hill19/06/2023Had 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.kishore babu30/05/2023I recently had my EV charger installed with API and Conner the technician is polite and friendly he has done the job brilliantly and Jill has cleared all the questions. I highly recommend them. I Appreciate both Technician : Connor Customer Care : Jill Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David Holder23/03/2023API 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.David Griffin22/03/2023Great communication and attention from Jill and the installation on the day was very neat and tidy.

Many thanks.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.kevin robson08/02/2023I 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ian Haines29/11/2022They 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Rebecca Robinson19/05/2022Great, 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Iftakhar Khan23/04/2022A 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.
