Octopus has sent me n Electroverse charge card, with access to 420,000+ public chargers. At home I have a tethered Zappi and use the Octopus Go cheap tariff 21.30~01.30. I have never had the supplied charger out of its bag.
To use a public charger I will need to buy a type 2 charge cable, say around £120. To that I would need to add the cost of the public charger and that's where I have no idea of what they currently charge, pricing seem to be made up as they go along. As it takes around 4 hours to charge the battery I cannot see us waiting 4 hours while out shopping! Local car parks mostly only allow 2~3 free hours so not much use either, so only a half charge. Reckon I'd be better off using fuel/hybrid.
