Customer reviews
Great service, very professional, asked all the right questions which made the EV charger installation go very smoothly. highly recommended.Called for a quote to supply and fit a Ohme Home Pro, I had a couple of questions regarding the routing of the cable.Bridget was friendly & helpful, I received a competitive quote and was surprised they could book the installation for the following week. The engineer Paul turned up on time and completed the work to a high standard. Based on today's experience I would have no hesitation in recommending them for your ev charger installation.Take Charge provided exceptional service from start to finish. Bridget offered invaluable advice to select the right charger, patiently guiding me through the options. Rub, the electrician, was not only friendly but also expertly installed the charger with precision. I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend Take Charge for their professionalism and expertise!Take Charge were referred by generic website EV Bug. Octopus were quoting a 10 week wait for an EV install but these guys turned it around in less than a week. Friendly and professional Comms with head office plus a hard working and knowledgeable electrician who did the install for only one cup of coffee 😊. All up and running, and the Zappi recognised by Octopus, in less than a day. Competitive price. Unreservedly recommended.Take Charge were recommended by a neighbour for for the great service they offered…I was so impressed with the customer service from the initial calls (with Bridget) to the installation. Rob (installer) was so accommodating. He explained everything so clearly and offered suggestions on the best placement for the Easee charge point for which I changed the position based on the recommendation!!!Great workmanship, tidy & clean.Can’t speak highly enough of the service. Very impressed and would hands down recommend to anyone!

In rare cases, you may not be to start a charge for several minutes in the app. This is caused when connection to the charger is temporarily lost.

The RFID cards which come with your VCHRGD Seven Pro charger provide the ability to authorise charging sessions without logging into the Powerverse app. You do this by tapping your RFID card on the 'V' logo of the charger each time you connect your EV. You will receive two RFID cards with your VCHRGD Seven Pro charger.
