330e Which Charger ?

Im looking for the best installed charger.

I'm open to wether its tethered or not. I think a 7kw charger would be best from the point of view of future proofing ( i realise that the 330e cannot make full use of the 7kw , only 3.6kw )

However, whatever charger i choose MUST allow me to be able to meter Kw/H used. Ideally i would be able to download a CSV file showing usage between any 2 dates.

I need this to show electricity cost to my employer and be compliant with HMRC for paying personal miles in a company vehicle at true cost. I can see that the POD POINT charger definitely allows this but information on this capability with other chargers is sparse and incomplete. Does anyone have any experience on whether or not their charger model has this capability ?

Thanks

I purchased a Rolec tethered unit, which was installed by their chosen installers - Plug It In Group Ltd. Can't praise them highly enough in what were very tricky times at the start of lockdown. Works great and looks tidy.

It does come with an app, yes. You can track kw/h used per day etc.
