    Can there ever be enough DC chargers?

    So, to answer the previous, I do charge at home to reduce costs, this was a holiday away from said home charging. To answer the RFID card thing is that I quite often go to North Norfolk where there are Gridserve chargers at the Norwich charging hub, these are great, but why oh why do I have to...

    Can there ever be enough DC chargers?

    Thanks, I have looked at the list and see BP is bottom, where I believe it belongs, what gripes me most is it was raining (normal for UK ATM), I tried the card reader (Contactless) which said had failed, so I tried to load £20 onto the app which was in a dead spot for internet but succeeded...

    Can there ever be enough DC chargers?

    I use Zap Map all the time, but they do not really help when it comes to how people have got on with the chargers unless you into the depths of the particular charger, perhaps I am wanting a generic view of each provider. BP Pulse is appalling though, I have never got it working as it tells me...

    Can there ever be enough DC chargers?

    Is it possible to have a list of charger providers and anyone that uses said charger provider can state where, what car, and success or not, maybe even CCS or Type 2, can anyone do that as a ongoing report of how the charging network is going and where/who is great and not so great. I have had...

    Can there ever be enough DC chargers?

    I'm using this thread to sort of raise awareness of dead areas within the UK that seem to have chargers but when you get there you are running around trying to get a charger to work (AC or DC), my experience is with Bude, they have chargers on Zap Map but most are either not working or difficult...

    Forced change of Dealer.

    There are dealers in Bristol and Taunton (not sure if they will still be doing MG as they are Howards as well), if that is any good, whole thing is a bit of omnishambles, well done MG for foot shooting episode!

    It seems so, I got an email today stating they were not doing the MG Franchise from 1st May, you may get an email soon :(

    Forced change of Dealer.

    And so I have a question, Howards MG at Weston-Super-Mare has stated that they no longer supports the franchise for MG, so is this a single occurrence or is there an underlying issue with garages stopping the Franchise or is it MG terminating it. I cannot believe that this is normal, or is it...

    iSmart 2.0 app woes [merged - all discussion in here please]

    I have the new app, it didn't load and crashed, restart your phone and it began working. Flaky as ever, and how do you change the charge level (currently at Long-trip mode and wanted to change to 80%), unable to change this setting, any ideas???

    EV charging prices

    Currently prices have risen by a lot, but that maybe due to this:, call me cynical but not the first time prices have risen only to be cut later

    Charging Costs

    We have Podpoint chargers next to Lidl and they are not used very much due to the price, when will the operators start to understand that if they want their expensive chargers to be used then start being more transparent and realistic with the prices, I have steered a few people away from these...

    Charging Costs

    Or is this the same national grid fiasco that means the cost of electricity is linked to the most expensive way to make electricity (currently gas) using gas prices therefore lets make the cost of electricity linked to the cost of fuel (as that seems a good idea [especially if you're profiting...

    Charging Costs

    So the price of electricity is falling, but WTF is going on with the cost of public charging, the chargers near me seem to have a mind of their own, podpoint 99p kw/h (was 79p), Revive 69p kw/h (was in the 50's), shell recharge 85p kw/h (was 79p), surely the prices should be coming down not...

    Type 1 to Type 2 Plug Change

    I have done it as I ordered a cable but did not fully check the details and got a Type 1 connector, so I ordered a socket and did it myself. What you do need (better than soldering) is a battery terminal crimper as this gives a better connection. I ordered a resistor that tells the car it is a...

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    As an EV owner and I owe that to Fully Charged and the Live Show it does get irksome to keep hearing this total tosh from people such as the Daily Mail and Rowan Atkinson. Keep up the voice of reason.
