    CCS Chargers Near Betws Y Coed?

    Brilliant, still have £13 on my Podpoint app from when I went to Scotland earlier in the year....after a few disastrous attempts with ChargePlace Scotland chargers...unfortunately their Rfid card didn't arrive before we set off, but we found a Podpoint at the Tesco in Dingwall....At least I...

    CCS Chargers Near Betws Y Coed?

    Looking for a bit of a heads up on Chargers in North Wales. We are staying in Betws Y Coed at a cottage without charging facilities. We won't need to charge to get there. I can see that there are CCS chargers at Ffestiniog and Porthmadog (pogo?), anyone used them? Any recommendations? Thanks.

    Charger Queue Etiquette

    I used the Ionity ones, so I could use the Electroverse card. The Applegreen ones seem to have iffy reviews.

    Charger Queue Etiquette

    A part from the fact that 2 of the 4 chargers were out of action, our first ever charging at a public charger went really well. (Gretna Green) There were 2 cars in the queue, very polite and explained how long they expected to be. 1 guy charged to 80%, left the charger and allowed another car to...

    Charger Queue Etiquette

    We are new (this week) to the world of EV. Planning on taking a long trip this weekend and just wondered what happens when all the charging bays are occupied, is there an accepted queuing etiquette? Interested on views from experienced EV'ers. Thanks, Darren

    No, it's the pre facelift model, really like the look of the new one though. The car was extremely well priced which helped convince us to make the move to electric.

    Say Hello

    Hello to everyone. We are new to the EV world....actually we don't pick our car up until next Monday. In some ways we have Mr Tesla to thank, when we were looking at the end of last year for a nearly new MG5 they were out of our price range, but his tinkering with his car prices seems to have...

    Anyone Had Octopus Install Their EV Charger?

    Yes, I'm an avid watcher of EVM since his leaf days, was amazed that he was discussing chargers this week. Octopus can install the Zappi, so it looks like I'll be going with them.....not because they were £3. cheaper, but as a Yorkshire man, it has to be a consideration. (not sure if I can make...

    Anyone Had Octopus Install Their EV Charger?

    Yes, watched that video. Unfortunately they don't do a Zappi. That said, I was impressed by their response time and fair approach, accepting why I would want that Zappi due to it's compatibility with solar.

    Anyone Had Octopus Install Their EV Charger?

    Another Artisan follower!!! I know lately he's been singing the praises of the Andersen charger, saw him trying to 'cadge' a carbon fibre surround from their stall on their latest 'Fully Charged show' video. There are a few to choose from, but having had a product in mind after doing my initial...

    Anyone Had Octopus Install Their EV Charger?

    Really impressed with the info they gave, I asked about the Zappi, but frustratingly they don't do them. Understood why I wanted one as I have solar. Later came back and suggested the Hypervolt. It's a case of me accepting that I may have to alter my choice. Just don't want to give up on the...

    Anyone Had Octopus Install Their EV Charger?

    Tried myenergi site, completed form and then got a quote from 'proev'? In Bedford, I'm in Leeds??? I suspect they would then subcontract to a local installer . Can't find much out about them, so I decided to give them a miss. Wanted Zappi as I have solar.

    Anyone Had Octopus Install Their EV Charger?

    We are new to the EV world and picking up our MG5 (August 22 LR Mk1) up next Monday. I have made an enquiry with Octopus regarding an installation of a home EV charger. Their online enquiry form was simple enough, but a week later nothing by way of a response or expected timeline. Called them...
