Hoping someone can help me, I have zero idea about public ev charging, it’s a huge mess to me – I like the idea of free charging but it seems I need about 20 accounts to use these free services. Can I not just turn up and plug in and charge? https://electriccarguide.co.uk/is-it-free-to-charge-electric-cars-at-supermarkets/ these all talk about various requirements such as bp pulse
The days are long gone for free public charging.
Yes, you sometimes have to sign up for about 6 charging companies to use their charging stations. But the govt brought it i to law that the chargers must be available using just a credit or debit card. Some work some dont.
Public charging an EV is as costly as filling up an ICE car at a petrol station.
