It’s a shame that the chargers being installed are mostly relatively slow.
The big roll out from Tesco/VAG using Pod Point are all 7kW chargers so fine if you’re local wanting a quick top up, not so good if you’re low on charge and have a ways to go. I appreciate that they’re free to use but I would have preferred to have some fast chargers available too, on a pay for basis. Lidl I believe have chargeable 50kW only.
As battery capacity increases, 7kW will become snail like. I’m sure I’ve read something about some Tesla charge points being 350kW! I don’t know what the solution will be for home charging as the limit seems to be 32A 7kW from a normal home supply. Time will tell!
