What’s been your best experience with a public charger?
Today I used an RFID card for the first time, not having to log-in to an app to locate the charger and confirm the charge made it so easy. A big fan although a tad expensive at £5.32 for 16kW.

What’s been your worst experience with a public charger?
Had two failed charges in 5 months, both Pod Point ones at a Premier Inn and a Lidl due to earthing faults.
