Home charging unit – outline both positive & negative elements
Cheaper than public charging, especially charging at night.
Electricity supplier & tariff – outline both positive & negative elements
Night-time charging is cheap at 8p per kWh with EON.
What public charging networks would you recommend to others and why?
Have used Tesla and Shell so far. Tesla was easy to use with an invoice available immediately. Shell was more tricky and invoices are not issued as standard, you have to request them. They also don’t seem to take payment immediately either.
