  • Ceased to function after less than 5 years of use. No advice on repair or replacement.

 

Outline any faults you have experienced with the unit

Unit ceased to function, no advice from bp Chargemaster as it is out of warranty.

 

Tell us about your home charging routine

Car used daily, 200 miles (approx) per week, charged daily, usually overnight for convenience.

 

If you were buying a new charging unit now, what would you buy and why?

Still evaluating several, information seems a bit limited. All the companies want to provide a full installation of a new unit, not interested in fitting a replacement.

 

Tell us about your electricity provider and tariff. Would you recommend them?

Scottish and Southern – full green tariff. Difficult to isolate charging cost as it is all within the one bill. Charge cost is less than petrol usage for sure.

 

Are you part of a charger-sharing scheme for those who don’t have their own charger?

No
