I've been a Leaf owner for almost 6 years now and I got to the point where "everything just works" quite a while ago now. As a consquence, I've not been onSpeakEV for months.
My 30kwh Leaf's PCP deal is up next month and I'm buying it outright. I have seen no deals at the moment to tempt me into buying a new car - yet. Having said that, I am looking around to see what's available and it seems that my local VW dealer has quite a gew E-Golfs in stock at the moment, so I'm going to take one out for a test drive on Monday.
However: my son is currently in Scotland living it up with his 3-week-old Model 3, and he reports that quite a few of the chargers run by Chargeplace Scotland have had their CCS ports disabled. I seem to recall that quite a few of the Ecotricity chargers also had issues with CCS.
Is this a common problem? It's well over a year since I had any kind of an issue with a chademo not working and I wouldn't want to go back to worrying about where my next charge was going to come from.
