It seems that a day doesn't go by at the moment when Ecotricity announce another rapid charger installation going live and this is starting to make a huge difference to me here in Saltash, Cornwall near Plymouth.
In the past few of weeks AC/DC rapid chargers have been installed at Tiverton and Exeter Moto services and when these are added to the one at Sedgemoor on the M5 means that I can now get from my home in Saltash to anywhere else on the Electric Highway Network without being restricted to Nissan dealer opening hours.
That means a massive increase in freedom and flexibility on when I can travel opening up the possibility of long trips over the weekend or when returning late at night.
I also heard that Ecotricity has committed to installing CCS charging at all their locations so that the BMW i3 and future CCS cars can also use the Highway. That is just excellent news.
They still seem to be breaking down more often than we would all like though so I hope they get to the bottom of the reliability issues soon. They are good guys/gals at Ecotricity and I am sure they are as frustrated as we are. They are working on it I know.
Take a look at their Highway map.
