Gridserve at Leigh Delamere

[RichardB]

Anyone used the chargers at Leigh Delamere on the M4?
Have requested confirmation from Gridserve whether they accept contactless payment but no response yet. Internet info not very clear....

 

[ensmith007]

All the new Gridserve Electric Highway units take contactless.

What’s the cost per/kwh does anyone know please?

What’s the cost per/kwh does anyone know please?

I think someone mentioned 39p/kWh and maybe a bit more on the motorway services.

 

[ensmith007]

All are currently 30p/Kw.

I used Gridserve at Braintree a couple of weeks ago and it was 24p per Kwh. However you don't get a receipt from the machine!

 

[ensmith007]

All are currently 30p/Kw.

To clarify. All the Gridserve Electric Highway pumps are 30p

Leigh Delamere only has ONE, yes ONE charge point and guess what it was occupied!
Tesla nearly always have 8 charge points, so why does Gridserve think we can manage with just ONE?!
It is a joke!

Just to warn you i used gridserve at Leigh delamere .
but after charging to 60% my car hade a battery system failure and would not start .
had to call out aa mg assistant and have car towed back to garage was told battery’s had been unbalanced and after hard resetting car now have to use granny charger until batteries charge to 100% was told by mg that this could take two weeks of slow charging to balance batteries again.

I believe these (1 each side) were Ecotricity and have been taken over by Gridserve. They are rolling out more

Happened to us at Broxden services in Perth. 12 Tesla chargers unused and a Model 3 on the Chargeplace Scotland charger. Reason.....the CPS is free vend. Can't blame the owner I suppose but a bit of a pain.

Tight lot these Tesla owners!

Dear God !.
That is a bit selfish to be honest, was he sitting in the car at the time ?.
I bet not !.
If so, I would asked him to move and offered him the money if he was hard up !.
If I wanted to do that with a Tesla, I would have sat with the car and moved it, if anybody turned up to use the charger.
He / She must be tighter than two coats of paint !.

Don't they(you) have free charging on their chargers, I though they paid a subscription up front or something ?

He was standing next to the car having a fag and took great delight when telling me why he wasn't on a supercharger!

Only afterwards did I have the thought that I should have offered him the cash to move.

While I was waiting a bloke in an e-Tron turned up and asked him why, got the same answer. He couldn't believe his ears!!

I now firmly believe that the best option is not to have free chargers. Better to pay and the funds used to keep current chargers working and to extend the availability.

That’s only true of the “older” models - model S & X. They are still honouring this for those cars, but the newer (cheaper) cars have to pay 25p per kWh at a supercharger

Only 25p, the tight git. Tesla should open theirs to the public then at least us peasants could opt to pay if Teslas are hogging the free non-Tesla charger(s).

I tell you what, both of you have more control of your temper than I do !.
Let's just say, I don't suffer fools lightly and he WAS a absolute fool !.
I would have offered him the difference in cash and ask him NICELY to move it, if he refused I would have hit the STOP button on the charger first, then told him you not going to need that charge anyway, as you are about to get a free ride in an ambulance - BANG !.
