Purple Zoe runs a Renault Zoe Play 2020 electric car and shares their experiences to-date on public charging.   What do you think of the UK public charging network in general? Rubbish basically.

David runs a Tesla Model 3 electric car comments on public charging.   What do you think of the UK public charging network in general?

Derek runs a Kia Soul EV 30kWh 2018.   What do you think of the UK public charging network in general? The infrastructure just isn’t good enough e.g. rapid chargers with two parking bays but only one car can charge at a time,  what’s that all about?! When chargers go faulty for whatever reason they […]

Public charging review: Peugeot Partner Electric, Aimforcharginghubs

Aimforcharginghubs runs a Peugeot Partner Electric van.   What do you think of the UK public charging network in general? Not fit for purpose. I did have high hopes for Gridserve but 2 chargers per motorway service station (with only one CHAdeMO) is ridiculous. I aim for charging hubs and InstaVolt usually have more than […]
