Similar for me except it was down from £500 to £350 government grant when I did mines and then the £300 from the energy saving trust in Scotland as a rebate once installed -not far off for free.

Granted it's not massively faster than 10A via the 3 pin but I found the plug / socket heating up (in my garage when I used the 3 pin) and out of concern of fire risk I reduced the charge amps on the car settings.

I'm mostly on an overnight charge but often out a few times at weekend or back out in evening after tea time - so a couple of hours with a type2/ 16A charge has been beneficial
