My positive Ratio home charger and install experience.

I recently had a Ratio home charger installed and I have nothing but positive feedback to offer regarding the product and installation. I have a tethered 5m version of the io6 and it is so easy to use.....it also looks very pleasing on my property. The installation was fuss free and the care and quality of work by the electrician with regards to cable management and respect of my home, was second to none. I would highly recommend Ratio as a go-to supplier & installer if you're looking for a competitive yet quality charger in this slightly confusing world of home EV charging.

We are a farm business in a remote part of Herefordshire and chose the Ratio io6 with 4G to ensure continuous internet connection. The charger is pretty robust to withstand agricultural wear and tear. Philip and the team from Rheidol Electrical overcame several technical obstacles which required National Grid work and kept us in the loop throughout. Great communication and great service!

AmpEV working with RatioEV

We have delivered a number of projects using RatioEV's products and solutions over the past 12 months. Predominately using their IO7 and DLB solution, they have become our go to products in terms of quality and suitability for most applications. With special thanks to Ben and Martin, the sales, support and aftercare have been faultless at every stage and we continue to build on our working relationship together.

Ratio EV charger issues & time to rectify fault

Our business had issues with the 10 chargers were they started and stopped charger consistently.
We liaised with the installers who spoke with Ratio to try and rectify the fault back in September 2024.
Ratio advised the fault was that the chargers had an issue with Wi-Fi connection that resulted in a cost of approx. £1000 to get them all hardwired.
This did not resolve the issues and was relayed back to them.
As staff couldn't charge they had to utilise external chargers so they could perform their roles.
The problem went on for months and was finally rectified in November.
Claim was put in to help cover some of the additional costs occurred for external charging due to insufficient product supplied. Cost rose by approx. £2000 over the 3 months.
2 Months after putting in a complaint and request for financial contribution I have just heard back today that they are not willing to cover any incurred expenses as per warranty terms. These chargers had only been installed back in February 2024.

Severely disappointed with the communication, response time and ultimately no support financial from Ratio and would not consider there product for any future growth to the business.

We are extremely sorry that you have experienced these issues.

We have been in regular contact with your installer.

As Wi-Fi connection was believed to be an issue we advised on the hardwiring solution. However, as this was our recommendation, and it has not worked we will be covering these costs. We have spoken to your installer regarding this, and they are fully aware.

As per our product warranty we do not reimburse for any out-of-pocket expenses such as off-street charging costs.

Company car EV Charger

I found Ratio while i was looking for an EV charger for my company car, the cost was reasonable (not the cheapest but I believe you get what you pay for!) and delivery extremely prompt, initial set up couldn't have been quicker. I had an issue with the charger re-setting itself to a lower current rating randomly but this was sorted via 1 phone call to their technical wizards. Would definitely recommend.
