Hi, can anyone help with some advice please? I have a 2020 Egolf that I’ve head from new and never really had any issues with it. Normally charge at home but yesterday attempted a long run.. Southend to Huddersfield and back so 230 miles each way. I knew this would involve some multiple rapid...

I have noticed iceing is a massive issue especially in supermarkets. But I think what’s almost worse is other EV’s hogging rapid chargers and leaving their cars connected even after they are fully charged making it impossible for others to use. I reported Such a case to Instavolt today but...

I'm currently on holiday in St.Ives, Cornwall and the most westerly rapid charger in Cornwall is in St.Erth station car park. This is operated by GeniePoint and has a £1 connection fee and 30p per kWh fee. I'm reasonably happy with this BUT what I object to is having to pay an additional £3.30...

I took a 250 mile road trip, 3 people plus luggage. I set off with 100% battery and drove 105 miles at 50-65 mph arriving at first rapid charger with 30% remaining and charged to 97%. I then drove a further 100 miles at 70-75 mph arriving at the second rapid charger with 17% remaining and...

Has anyone else had issues Rapid charging their E-Niro? Just taken delivery of the MY2020 E-Niro and have encountered an issue where the Car seems to charge for 10-15 minutes before stopping. The EH chargers barely last 10 minutes before the session stops, and the Polar charger I tried at a BT...

So I've just failed to use one of these at a Holiday Inn. The whole setup is flawed. A rapid charger should be somewhere you stay for a short time, like a service station. Most people would stay at a Holiday Inn overnight. So the clever people at Polar put one single rapid in the Holiday Inn...

As a lowly PHEV owner I never charge at Motorway services. However with an eye to going on to a BEV next year I have started to take a direct interest in the main road charging infrastructure on a recent long journey. It seems to be as ragged as people say but I was impressed with the...

Hi, I have a survey for a proposed rapid charging system for home use. The research is part of a university project and is just an idea but would hugely appreciate any responses. It's only 6 questions and takes one minute! The questions are for EV owners and ask about charging habits etc. Rapid...

I just bought a 2nd hand Nissan Leaf and today for the first time I tried the rapid charge at a PodPoint station. I followed the instructions and it showed charging to 80% (from 50%). All went fine, until I got into the car. The car said it had 77% charge, but once I started driving the battery...

Just an impression: When I use Instavolt or Polar rapid chargers it seems that my battery temperature indicator collects an extra bar compared to a similar charge on an EH charger. Anyone else notice this?

Hello, I am a reporter on the business desk at the Daily Mail newspaper. I am working on a piece about the UK's EV charging infrastructure and how easy it is to use. I'm keen to hear from as many EV drivers as possible on their experiences to make sure I get across the real picture. For example...

Hello everyone, I've been test driving a Zoe and Leaf for a few days and whilst I like the Leaf it's price really puts me off. I loved the Zoe but the only niggle for me was that when I went to charge at an Ecotricity pump it came up charging impossible on the dash. Firstly is that a common...

Hi After reading so many opinions online I am still confused. So... Is it safe/OK/good or not to use mainly rapid chargers(RC) to charge my 2014 24kW Leaf? I tend to use RC 90%+ times to charge my car over the first month after purchase before my home charger installation. I have an easy access...
