Before I got my home charger I used the rapid charger to get to about 85% and then went to Tesco for the last 15%. I found that the 3 hour parking limit was more than enouggh to do the last 15% and balance the battery. It doesn't take very long if you balance the battery on a regular basis.

I believe that the 7kw chargers at Tesco etcare absolutely necessary for people that cannot have a home charger. If all the 7kw chargers at Tesco etc are replaced with rapid chargers a lot of people would have no way of doing a battery balance. The only way they would be able to charge their...

I had the same problem with EDF, I was with them until last week when I switched to Eon and their EV tariff. Even though I had a smart meter the always estimated my readings saying that they could not communicate with the meter. With Eon for one day and they messaged to say that they could not...

I was going to have a look at the British Gas EV tariff but I could not find out what their peak tariff was so I went with eon as I have been with them before and I am hoping that their website is still as good as it used to be. I was moved to EDF when my provider went under and I was with them...

I was with EDF until Wednesday when I moved to Eon to take advantage of their EV tariff, which although it is 9.5p off peak, you get from midnight to 7am and the peak rate is 33p.

Every time I have tried to get on an EV tariff I get the same answer "existing customers only" My daughter referred me to Octopus and all I get from them is they are not taking on customers in my area at the moment but sign up for an email in case we start again.

I am with EDF and the increased cost during daytime compared to the amount of kwh's I would need works out more expensive than charging on the normal tariff whenever I need to. Sadly the really good EV tariffs have disappeared for the time being at least.

I used Tesco's free 7kw chargers while waiting for my charger to be installed, just plugged it in each time we went shopping and used the DC chargers if we were going to do a long trip.

I may have got someone who was not fully up to speed on EV charging etc. Thinking about it, I may have called them before my charger was installed! I will try again next week. I have solar panels so it may be better for me to charge around mid day so that I make maximum use of the electricity I...

I hardly ever noticed an EV on the road before I got one, now I spot loads of them. I think that once you get one you tend to notice more although it is true that more and more people are buying EV's

My daughter is with Octopus and suggested I switch to them but when I went on line it would not do any quotes for me and when I phoned them they said that they do not recommend that I move from EDF at the moment and were very reluctant to do a quote. I cannot even get EDF to give me a quote and...

Thanks for that, it will come in really useful when the electric companies decide to give quotes again! The company I was with went under and the impending price increase in April will put me on a tariff that is 154% more than I was paying so the spreadsheet should assist with my decision making.

I just had a call from my dealer saying that we will be getting my wife's white ZS Trophy Long Range tis month! That is March 2022, we ordered it 3rd Jan 2022. Just told my wife who said she is not going to get excited until they tell us to come and pick it up!

Well done C6MFC, I know exactly who to call on should I ever get a problem with my WiFi connection, just hope I never need your valuable assistance! (done a screenshot of your instructions just in case)

You will need a Type 2 cable so that you can charge away from home so there is no point in the added expense of getting a tethered unit as you can use the one you get for the car

I got my mk1 ZS EV last May and I filled in the paperwork to get a podpoint installed but I think I was dealing with an administrator because even though I sent in a copy of my electrical certificate for the house showing it was suitable and also photos of my 100 amp mains fuse, earthing...
