Doable? Worth doing?

In Scotland I see that there are grants available for professional
installations (which seem to be around the £1000 mark).

Are there significant savings to be had by DIYing it and are there any
significant “gotchas” that one needs to be aware of? I do realise that
this probably falls into the “if you have to ask, you shouldn’t be doing
it” category of jobs but just curious to know if a) you averagely competent
DIYer could do it or b) make some saving by installing an appropriate
unconnected cable for a sparky to finish off?


Hearing intermittant drilling outside this morning, I went to out to
see what was going on, and found electricians installing a charger
for the neighbour's new electric Kia.
Reading this thread I went out to see if it was all in his garage or
if it had an external connection.
It's all inside, it's a smart one that cost him £600 installed.
As his power supply is still 40A he has been warned about using other
high-drain devices at the same time but is going to get it upgraded to
80A.
