Thanks - though I think planning policy and legislation is local - hence asking the council.

A seasonal title - but not a seasonal issue. Our small toon of 7,000 is well catered for with AC fast chargers 7kW/22kW (3x2 free Charge Place Scotland = 1x2 pay for Charge Place Scotland, + 2 pay for in Aldi). The free ones have high use, the others rarely used. I suspect the free to use ones...

The 2 charges at the Premier Inn are now live (my previous post said Travel lodge - sorry) Geniepoint 79p/kWh 50kW.

Latest breakdown of new UK registrations - pure electric at 21%, with MG having 2% behind Tesla at 5% - MG4 sales have been reported as key. So FUD may be prominent in the media, but the market switch continues. More breakdowns here: New AutoMotive - Accelerating the switch to electric

Charging in Aviemore earlier this week: CPS (car park next to the public toilets) - CCS fine, type 2 cable is destroyed (photo) & reported Fuuse (High Range Hotel) - CCS fine, needs Fuuse app. Unit 1 is pink on LHS, as the units are not numbered this needed a swift repositioning from unit 2...

Apparently Public - as stated and non Tesla price tariff

There is a thread on this topic here: The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023

These are the plain text main points from the regulation + some observations from me. Regulation 5 requires a charge point operator, within a specified period, to ensure that a person is able to pay to charge an electric vehicle by contactless payment without entering into a pre-existing...

Long Island was fine - even with several chargers not working - aided by the 4.7 miles/kWh which is a result of the lower speed on the single track roads. Weather has an impact - this is the charger at Uig ferry terminal - salt water environment. For members not familiar the Long Island is a...

Also did Benbecula via Uig. Turns out that an EV on a single track island gives 4.7 miles per kWh - speed rarely hits 50mph and regen really helps with slowing and acceleration from passing places.

I did a 1,270mile round trip in March and a1,025mile round trip over a long weekend just gone. Both Ayrshire to the South coast of England. Several improvements noted (connectors in brackets): Applegreen at Abington (20) & Gretna (12) services Grid Serve at Burton in Kendal (10) and Instavolt...

Applegreen at Abington Services working fine yesterday - managed 82kW - equal to my previous record. For an MG5 with max rate of 87kW this is a good result. The display shows the kWh added to 3 decimal points, so it runs up very quickly, giving a satisfying feeling of progress, (even though...

Like Rolfe I stumbled across Apple Green at Gretna - but at the end of March when they were already working. As I have previously queued at Gretna for 30 mins+ for the Ionity chargers I was very pleased to see the extra 6 (x2 connectors). I also fumbled to get these going - it was wet and very...

For MG4 and MG5 interest Co Wheels have added both models to their network. I spotted one on Bothwell St in Glasgow and found out that they had added 60 MG4s to their fleet which already included some MG5s. Their system allows you to identify the models available at the pick up location...

Wonko: Thanks Following my Aldi experience I got the Shell Recharge card but have not needed to test this in Aldi yet - I guess I need to be adventurous and give it a go.

Early charging experience (week 3) in Aldi - believed the "Just plug in and go shop" sign. Plugged in and it started charging. Returned to car, would not release cable. Rang helpline - which is Shell in the Netherlands - advice was "ask store to pull the charger fuse out". Store manager and...
