Tell us about your home charging routine
My wife and I both charge once a week in the evenings (on different dates). I typically do ~ 100miles a week (e-tron 55) and she probably does ~150miles per week (IONIQ 5).
If you were buying a new charging unit now, what would you buy and why?
Something that looks fancier? Or a unit with a better App design (e.g. Pod Point’s app but I don’t like the look of Pod Point’s charger)?
Tell us about your electricity provider and tariff. Would you recommend them?
I’m currently stuck with Shell Energy because my previous provider (Pure Planet) was abandoned by bp.
