Hopefully, mildly amusing first post.
Hello!
Lady insists that she can charge her VW ID.4 at the Leeds Supercharger as it has the right connector.
My wife says that it is unlikely as it is not a Tesla.
The cable won't reach to the drivers side of her car, so starts tugging it.
My wife says that she shouldn't really be doing that, and that it won't make any difference, and that the cable not reaching is indicative that it isn't going to work.
She says that she'll just get it nearer and that will do it.
While trying to move forward to reposition, car lurches dangerously forward!
She then reverses, and pushes her tow-bar into the Supercharger, leaning it back a little.
She finally manages to connect the cable. She can't understand why it isn't charging as things have lit up in the car, but not on the Supercharger (not sure what she means by this?).
My wife points out that the Supercharger probably won't recognise her vehicle.
Eventually she appears to accept that it is not going to charge, and moves her vehicle allowing us to start charging.
She "parks" her car out of the way.
Fortunately the Supercharger was still operational.
Images are of the vehicle, and the pushed back Supercharger:
