 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The overall experience with Sydney EV Chargers was first class. Booked them a week ahead and they contacted me 2 days prior to the installation of a Zappi charger to, confirm if I'm still good to for the day we arranged. On the day of installation, I received a text message saying they're on their way to my place. So communication was excellent. Arrived on time and did great job of installing and commissioning the Zappi. Found 2 CTs needed reversing, set up the Myenergi app, explained how to operate the Zappi and the app.  Asked if I  was happy with everything.
I can't fault them and would recommend them for anyone wanting an EV Charger installed.
