The majority of my MG ZS EV motoring will be covered by home charging but as we are heading to visit relatives in Scotland shortly I am confused by the myriad number of alternative Rapid Charges available at motorway services and other charge points we will call upon during the 345-mile journey.
I read the government has issued a paper which instructs Rapid Charge suppliers to ensure their points should be able to accept contactless debit card payment without the need for downloading apps or subscribing to their services. I noticed that new charges installed at a supermarket car park which have recently gone live allow for contactless payment but what of older units?
Can anyone advise how the RFID (?) card works and which or how many suppliers will I need to download apps which link to an account? Also when traveling in Scotland I gather there is another 'Scottish' card which is necessary for council run charges.
Any comments welcome.
