Sat at hopwood park services trying to charge car. Type 2 says on exotricity and zap map it’s a 43kwh charger but only done 6 in 45 mins. Does that sound right? Anyone similar experience. Don’t fancy sleeping in car HELP
1 mim = 11.25 min.In 4 mins? About half a kwh.![]()
Several new sites just popped up in planning with multiple (6-10) ccs-only ecotricity chargers.Ecotricity really need to pull their finger out, it's pathetic having chargers without CCS on the motorway network, they've had years and have done nothing.
Clearly the OP fits into the group that you identify. I think that the issue is that we are moving from early adopters who were willing to research properly before starting out to the uninterested who just see the cars as a means of getting from A to B. A similar issue of "wrong fueling" happened regularly when the move to diesel powered cars occurred, but then reduced. With the relative complexity of different standards and the confusion of AC and DC rapid charging I suspect that this will plague us for a long time yet.There have been a few posts like this recently, caused by "43kw type 2" sounding fast for everybody when it really isn't. Is it just greater numbers driving EVs now, or covid car handovers being devoid of useful information?

Only the other week I saw an iPace owner trying to use a Tesla Supercharger.The problem is it doesn't matter if CCS is fitted to the charger or not. People don't get education and just stick with what they know. If they use Type 2 at home, they'll use type 2 at a rapid charger, thinking anything else is wrong and may even damage their car.
Fastned even have labels on the Type 2 connectors saying its for Zoe only. But I've watched 2 cars plug in to AC and then walk off, despite the signage.
