You'll not be saying that in a month or so from now, unless you happen to live in or around Milton Keynes where they have chargers EVERYWHERE. Polar, and the other Chargemaster brands like CYC are terrible. They take forever to fix faults, their Ultracharge units regularly freeze up and stop working, and you will generally be waiting at least half a hour on the phone before they answer your call, mostly just to tell you they can't help.I've also signed up for Polar plus, It's free for the first 3 months and I have several chargers local to me, also their rates and reliability seem to be pretty good.
Well I guess I will, and I wouldn't be relying on them but they'll initially be the first one's I go to try. Having checked out the Polar chargers close to me and from reading various threads on here and Zapmap, this has mostly not been quite so pessimistic. I understand they won't be perfect (as most networks aren't), but from what I've read and checked out for myself I'll certainly be giving them a try and what's to lose with 3 months free membership anyway??You'll not be saying that in a month or so from now, unless you happen to live in or around Milton Keynes where they have chargers EVERYWHERE.

Chargemaster really isn't a network to rely on. They are generally my absolute last resort option and nothing more.
I signed up for Polar and still am signed up despite the fact that financially it probably costs me more than I take out. Reliability wise, when I have used them they have been okay especially the 7kw posts around me which are free on the subscription. What swayed me in the first place was the provision of a fob rather than having to rely on apps which to be frank are a PITA. I also signed up to the Genie Point network which you can choose to register through an existing RFID (I use the polar one) which again removes the need to mess about.Well I guess I will, and I wouldn't be relying on them but they'll initially be the first one's I go to try.
