Not gonna lie, wasn't perfect.
First stopped at Reading Eastbound services, both chargers being used and nobody around. So decided to keep driving.
Stopped at Mereoak Lane park and ride where there were two empty Charge Your Car points.
Couldn't use contactless so downloaded the app.
The app failed to register my card so resorted to phoning the number on the charger. That number did not work and so off I went again.
Decided to cut my losses and head home where I stopped at Reading Westbound Services where there happened to be a free Gridserve charger and managed to successfully charge to 80 before heading home over and hour late.
So as a new EV owner, it was disheartening and already made me start to wonder if I've done the right thing.
Too late now I guess!
