So we pulled up at Northampton southbound services for a charge. Only 1 charger so had to wait 10 mins. No real issue. Popped the car on charge and went to grab a coffee in Costa. Sat in by the window and started our brew. 10 minutes later a Kia EV pulled up, checked my charge and went and sat in his car to wait. 5 mins later he got out wondered over looked at my charge… then turned me off!!… he then scuttled off to his car. I went and checked and was only on 60% … so I went over and asked why he had stopped my charge … you was on 90% he said!… I said I’m not on 90% and even if I was you should not of stopped my charge. Your on 90% he kept saying… I said turning me off doesn’t make you get to the charger any quicker!. Needless to say I put my car back on charge. I then waited for another EV to wait and let them get ahead. The offending Kia then drove off. I’ve been driving my EV for 6 months now and never experienced anything like that. I accept the charging system currently is a bit of a pain, but to to turn someone off is just spite.
