  8. Oh the irony...

    General EV Discussion
    Wandered down the side of my local Sainsburys yesterday to look at the chargers. Two Podpoint posts, with one side of one of them out of action. No EVs there as the posts are feeble 7kW posts, of no great use unless you're planning on a 10 hour shop. Anyway, parked next to the bays (not in them...
