Sounds like Glyn Hopkin MK, there’s a reason I refuse to go back there.

My first experience with Fastned was pretty poor, the charger didn’t have any identification on it so Electroverse was the only option. Not great when I was trying to setup plug & charge which requires their app and to know which charger I’m at.

I believe Tesla is absent due to not all of their network being open to non-Tesla vehicles

I’ve always felt like 50kW chargers were in this weird position of being too fast to act as a destination charger but too slow to act as an en-route charger, personally I’d like to see more chargers and vehicles supporting 22kW AC

More options than BP Pulse so I can expect a charger to actually work

Sounds like the average driving standards in Milton Keynes. Today I had to slam the brakes and stop the car in the middle of a roundabout because this **** decided that they had right of way when I was already half way across. Probably the closest I've ever been to hitting someone.

Going though the Digital Key menu failed to start the car after multiple attempts. The car clearly detects the key, since it immediately throws the “Smart key not detected” error.

I’m still waiting for them to setup my account…

Wow, Glyn Hopkin are actually bothering to install updates now?

Nearly all BP chargers in the city centre now either don’t work or are coned off. Conveniently the ones that are coned off are the ones that their app says are working, and the ones that you can park at aren’t working. I’ve given up with reporting them on ZapMap given that they just blame the...

Granted, I’ve also used far less Gridserve chargers than BP ones, so there isn’t a reasonable comparison in my case

Gridserve? I’ve only ever heard awful things about them but more often than not they’ve been fine for me.

Now it seems that BP Pulse’s response to their new chargers consistently failing to work is… blame the user! Amazing!

Depending on the coffee, that may not have been good news

The replacement chargers for the few working ones have now failed after a few months. I really can’t see how BP are making money out of this when it’s impossible to use the service. The cynic in me would think that an oil company wouldn’t want an EV charging network to be successful…
