Hah, I listened to it, although I'm not watching that drivel.
First he went to somewhere with the old Electric Highway two-unit installation. There was actually a free space, not that surprising because the chargers are shared charge and would be pretty slow. After hotly denying that there was a type 2 at Killington Lake he actually pointed out the type 2 here, because someone was on it. (Possibly charging from a high SoC to 100% because it would be quicker than sitting on something that's only giving 25 kw at best.) Anyway, no issues. He didn't charge.
Then he went to an MFG setup at a petrol station, with very good canopies which he didn't mention, after having gone on and on about how he was going to get soaked because apart from these two show-case Gridserve hubs none of the chargers have canopies! Absolutely loads of free spaces. He pulled up well short of the charger so the cable wouldn't reach, and not only did he bellyache about this (you'd think he'd realise, this is the fourth time he's filmed himself doing this), he managed to use this issue to get the charger to take two £45 pre-authorisation payments from his card. He complained like mad it would be a week before he saw his £90 again, but that's not true.
The charger he got on wasn't delivering very high power for some reason I couldn't see - he hadn't obviously positioned himself so as to share power with the only other car charging. So he stayed there 40 minutes mainly chatting to some people he met, but then bellyached about how much time that had taken out of his life. He was at about 93% when he left, he could have been gone in 25 minutes if he'd wanted to be. A load of bellyaching about problems at the service station that were affecting the ICE drivers just as much, and he tried to salvage something by saying, oh well if you're prepared to come a bit away from the motorway you'll find something, the actual service stations will be queuing. But he never showed us that. No queues. (He said he'd been lucky, look, all the spaces were taken by the time he left! But there was no car waiting for the space he vacated, so still no queue.)
He got to Skegness with over 70% charge (so no need to have gone up over 90% at the MFG) and started looking for somewhere to charge so he could leave again on 100% the next day or whenever. Skegness is pretty short of rapids, but he kept rejecting type 2 chargers, of which there were many. He really, really doesn't like to leave that car on charge overnight, does he?
Actually nothing went wrong apart from the MFG charger barely making it to 70 kw when it was labelled as 150 kw, which is nothing to get too upset about. But he ranted on about it for over an hour and a half.
He has also developed a creepy line about people's underwear, as well as the even creepier one about them being swingers. Something deeply not right about that guy.
