Scottish Power Isolation switch install

Scottish Power want to charge me £162.63 for the fitting of an isolator switch that I need before i can get the EV pod fitted. My neighbour who is with British Gas said its free for her and other people with other energy companies have not had a charge, is it just Scottish Power that charge. Should I change provider?

It will cost them to come out and fit one so it is down to them whether they charge or not. 

Do you already have a smart meter installed? If not you can often get one fitted free when they change the meter out.

They attempted to fit a smart meter for the electric but there was an issue and only the gas meter works correctly, so i have a ticket in to get that looked at again, they said they will need to send and engineer out.
