Tell us about your home charging routine
I will typically charge my car 3-4 times a week at home if the charger works. I have only charged in public when my charger at home has failed which is frequently unfortunately. I only do approximately 1000 miles a month too.
If you were buying a new charging unit now, what would you buy and why?
Probably a Hive, although more expensive it is backed by a reliable company.
Tell us about your electricity provider and tariff. Would you recommend them?
British Gas EV tariff – I charge the car between 00:00-05:00 very cheap (providing it works).
Are you part of a charger-sharing scheme for those who don’t have their own charger?
No
