    When you order an EV, Motability will pass your details onto BP Pulse, who will then contact you about getting a home charger.  Once it’s established that this isn’t an option, they will email you a code to enter when you sign up for a BP Pulse account and RFID card.

    You need to set up a direct debit, and you will be invoiced monthly for the juice you’ve used, you can check it out on the app, sometimes it doesn’t register properly and you get free juice which is a bonus.

    Prices are:
    Slow (under 50kWh) 12p kW
    Rapid (50-99kWh) 15p kW
    Ultra (100kWH+) 27p kW

    I only use the 50kWh machines, and 15p is a good rate, any slower and you’re better off at Tesco’s etc as they are free, and the Ultra chargers are a bit expensive unless your car can make use of the power, the Kona will only accept 77kW max, 20-80% on a 50kW is about 45mins, and only marginally quicker on a ultra but nearly twice the price.
