Wow that's first time I've seen this sort of thing unbelievable phew. We go to Cornwall a couple of times a year and when we stop at service stations usually Strensham then Taunton Dene both are on the M5 i have always had a look at the EV points. My reasoning been if i had an EV would i get to Cornwall in it in short no without charging. So i look at where they are i have only seen them at these service stations there was a couple in each now i think Tesla have a bank of them in one of them. Anyhow going on ive never seen a vehicle plugged in one of them (not looked at the Tesla ones) but. I discovered a company called Ecotricity have the franchise to supply chargers to all the service stations. I dont know if that is still the case. Anyhow i really studied one of these chargers when we stopped. I was suprised to read on the instructions and you could only use it if you had an app installed on your phone or had previousley registered with this company. Alarmingly it also read DO NOT USE if wet, if it is raining, if an electric storm is present or if it is lightning. Has anyone on here seen this. Massive issue with the infrastructure in this country regards charging compatability maybe thats another thread. Thanks for these posts most interesting.
