Sorry, if there is a topic on this, but I’m not going to look though 184 topics to find it, anyway, never had a EV before and was down to about 15% battery power the other night, cold and peeing down, my question is are all EV chargers tap card and charge, or is it a case of joining something or other?.. tried charging at two places and couldn’t get them to charge..one in the centre of Birmingham (guess there run by the council) and the other was a shell recharge garage place, which I gave up on as also couldn’t get the thing to charge the car..in the end made a run up the motorway hoping to get to the services before I ran out of Juice..made it with around 7% left..so do I need to join lots and lots of companies and have loads of cards and accounts or are most chargers a tap and go for a coffee, like the one at the services?…help please, as I’m a bit paranoid about going on a long trip anywhere..I used to look at how many miles I have left…now I look at what the battery % is…ok, I’ll shut up now..
forgot to ask…do I need to lock the car to get a charger to work..had my daughter and her mate in the car and I didn’t want to stand out in the rain to charge the car..simply things, if you know the answer..
