Home charging unit
myenergi zappi 2
Electricity supplier & tariff
Octopus Agile – I would recommend if you’re willing to watch and adapt usage to the half hourly price updates.
What public charging networks do you use? Would you recommend them to others and why?
I don’t use the public charging network that often. I have used Electric Highway when traveling north on the A1. Why? Convenience, the chargers were positioned at the motorway services. I was nervous based on the general negative feedback but the charger worked really well.
Insurer
My EV is a company vehicle and is insured via the leasing company.
