This an interesting thread for a newbie to these forums and soon to be driver of a Hyundai Kona Ultimate. I have so far collected a fair number of apps on my phone for possible use at public chargers.
At the moment I have spent some time on Google maps looking at where a number of the public chargers that I want to try are sited and being a not very mobile elderley driver I am concerned at the supermarket ones that appear to be as far away from the main entrance as they possibly could be.
Most of the car charging will be done at home as a free BP Pulse charger has been installed and tested. I have chosen two
public charging places so that I can try my hand at connecting to them, one is in the grounds of a hotel and is a BP Pulse charger and the other is in a McDonalds' car park. I have seen reports that people who have used the hotel charger have ended up with a £60 fine because they had not registered their car details with the hotel reception at the time of charging.
The hotel BP Pulse charger is a CCS 50 (kW) and Type 2 43 (kW) and the McDonalds charger is an Instavolt CCS2 Combo 50 (kW) DC, the charger details are from the BP Pulse and Instavolt apps. Will spend time going through Hyundai Kona owners manual which some kind person on these forums provided a URL link for and will also try and view some YouTube videos relating to using public EV chargers.
