GeniePoint GenieFlex Hike

[Muffin]

Genieflex new price rises
This seem a big hike from April14th

 

[Kithmo]

Ridiculous, that's at least 50% more per mile than an ICE car.

 

[Gadget Geek]

They won't be in business for much longer with those prices as people will go elsewhere. Pure profiteering.

 

[Zoomy]

98p times no one using them is still 0p turnover

 

[Gomev]

Received an email they are now charging 98, yes 98p / kWh peak. 88p off-peak.

Claiming due to end of Government support for leccy.

So now when you go to one and it's not working as usual you have saved a fortune.

 

[fnkd]

Yeah I just noticed that as well. It’s ridiculous.

 

[Kithmo]

I got the email today, I was going to reply with, "thanks for the heads up, I now know which chargers to avoid when out and about"

 

[Gadget Geek]

My response was:

HOW MUCH?!?!


You have to be f***ing joking. I will be closing my account with you and asking for the £10 to be refunded.


Regards,

Let's see how long it takes to get my money back.

Edit: The email bounced back. Looking through the error log, the mailbox does not receive emails. How convenient for them.

Reasons not to use Genie point:
1. 98p / kWh
2. Good luck finding one that works in South Wales.
3. Most seem to be in Morrisons, where I vowed never to spend another penny after receiving a parking "fine" 10 years ago

Are there any other fast chargers in Skegness because I won't be using Geniepoint in Morrisons at that price when I visit.

 

[jamesie]

The Geniepoint charger at my local Morrisons is never in use.

 

[Kithmo]

The Geniepoint charger at my local Morrisons is never in use.

Same here and that was when it was 44p/kWh (rapid).

They won't be in business for much longer with those prices as people will go elsewhere. Pure profiteering.

My work used them but we are only being charged 10/11/12p per unit on work car park over next 3 years.

Prob find they have a few deals with big companies and realised they will be losing money so are trying to recoup through public charging.

I am surprised Morrison are happy with that price as they are in most morrisons car parks unless they have just rented the space to them not thinking it will drive customers else where one petrol is gone

 

[Cocijo]

All chargers should be made to display current cost in a large illuminated sign above the charger, just like petrol stations do. Some owners will plug in without realising the stupid high costs that some are charging.

 

[Prof1967]

Anyone ekse had an e-mail from Geniepoint advising that their prices are going up?

With effect from 14th April they are charging 98p per kwh from 0.800 to 19.59 and 88p per kwh from 20,00 to 07.59.

If other providers follow suit charging away from home will become a luxury.

 

[ShirLow]

That is extortionate

 

[Prof1967]

E-mail was sent the same day that the prices went up. They also advised that apps and the chargers themselves may still display the old price but you will be charged at the new rate with immediate effect.

They're blaming it on the end of the governments EBRS subsidy but a 68% increase seems excessive.

 

[fmzsev]

At some point they need to be regulated for standards they have allowed a bit of a wild wild west frontier by showing people/companies to set their own up it will eventually standardis inline with garages etc but

 

[mj224]

You will lucky to find one that is working. Many around my area are out of order for quite some time. I thought they were very well placed at Morrisons Supermarket car parks. , such a wasted effort.........

 

[Cocijo]

Let’s hope all of the ones pushing a £1 are out of order soon.
