Hi all,
Have just got back from doing a shop at our local Tesco in Sleaford & noticed that the much awaited EV charging points are now in place - but not working. There appear to be 5 spaces, with 5 or 6 charge points available. Ok, great - but isnāt this of local interest only I hear you say? Well, maybe, BUT a couple of them were 50 kW DC chargers, in addition to the 7kW AC usual ones that Iāve seen at other Tesco locations.
Now then, are they free to use? If so then thatās excellent and would make the trip worthwhile - as Iāve calculated that the āfreeā charge on a 7kW charger wonāt cover the energy to get me home - given that Iām usually in there about 20 mins. But āfreeā 50 kW is another matter. On the flip side regular DC charging isnāt the best thing to do.
Thoughts/comments please .....
