Andersen A3 FAQs
How much does the Andersen A3 cost installed?
The Andersen A3 starts at £1,430 for the unit. Typical UK installation adds £0, bringing the gross total to around £1,430. If you qualify for the £500 OZEV grant (renters, leasehold flat owners, landlords, or no-driveway homeowners via the on-street scheme), your installer deducts it from the invoice — net cost approximately £930. Standard homeowners with private driveways are NOT eligible for any grant and pay the full £1,430.
Is the Andersen A3 OZEV approved?
Yes. The Andersen A3 is on the OZEV approved list and eligible for the £500 grant when installed by an OZEV-authorised installer. This applies to all four active 2026 grant schemes — but eligibility depends on your housing situation, not the charger. Standard homeowners with driveways have NOT been grant-eligible since 2022.
Does the Andersen A3 support Intelligent Octopus Go?
Yes. The Andersen A3 natively supports Intelligent Octopus Go, the UK's cheapest EV tariff (around 7p/kWh off-peak). The charger and tariff communicate directly to schedule the cheapest possible charging without manual setup.
Solar PV integration on the Andersen A3?
Yes. The Andersen A3 works with home solar PV. It can prioritise solar charging when surplus is available, though Zappi remains the best-in-class option for solar households.
Who's the Andersen A3 best for?
Best for: driveway, landlord.
