I had to do my first CCS charge this week as the dreaded CCU fault has appeared. I won't be using that charger again, not at £0.84/kWh.Yep as others have said. Find a CCS charger and the car will take what it can. Prepare to get slapped with the price though. I paid £0.72/kwh the other day. Not nice!
There are open to all Tesla chargers near Derby which are a good bit cheaper.I had to do my first CCS charge this week as the dreaded CCU fault has appeared. I won't be using that charger again, not at £0.84/kWh.
That's some timescale for the fault to first occur, Ian.I had to do my first CCS charge this week as the dreaded CCU fault has appeared. I won't be using that charger again, not at £0.84/kWh.
I know but I don't do a lot of mileage. It might be a coincidence but it started when I tried pre-heating the car while it was still connected to my home charger for the first time.That's some timescale for the fault to first occur, Ian.![]()
Thanks. I've had a look but you also have to pay for parking at £3.60 for 2 hours. It is still cheaper depending on how much charge you put in.There are open to all Tesla chargers near Derby which are a good bit cheaper.

Instavolt are charging 85p/ kWh. I'm paying 6.571p/kWh overnight at home. That's almost 13 times more. Disgusting. I am more than happy with my electric vehicle, but if I had to rely on commercial chargers it would be a different kettle of fish.Yep as others have said.

Instavolt have a lot of costs other than electricity: depreciation, maintenance, support, land, vandalism, etc. Also, I'm not sure that they can get very cheap electricity overnight, in industrial quantities.Instavolt are charging 85p/ kWh.

Just remember to cancel any schedule charging for off peak you may have set in the car. It's caught me out a couple of times. If you have a smart charge point at home, then forget what I said...So I can go the the nearest charger regardless the kW: like a fast charger
