Teaboy have you put something like Zap Map on your phone to see where your local charge points are? I suspect that my next car will be an EV and although it's a long way off and I can most likely have a charge point at home I thought I'd see what the local infrastructure was like at the moment. It's not that good yet.
Not yet but I am aware that there are some useful apps out there (along with the 10 you need just to use charging points). It just really shouldn't be this way. The cost of charging anywhere should be within a few pennies regardless of the brand written on the charging point.
