ooOOoo Morrisons have some as well? Good to know.

Not a single supermarket has installed chargers in my own area, so it's still a relatively new 'thing' to me. Ironically living in an area where the supermarkets haven't installed chargers means that places I would like to travel to are more likely to have them

 

The Peterborough Cardea Morrisons also has 4 or 6 charge points (can't remember off hand).

Hmm

 

Maybe Morrisons have forgotten they have charge points in Peterborough! lol

 

Perhaps Morrisons would like to forget they even built the store nearish to Peterborough.

 

There are chargers at the Sheffield shop, but they are constantly ICEd as they are fairly near the shop, have poor signage, and have been there a very long time with almost no use. Unless something changes I would suggest that nobody expects to use these chargers and relies on them being available. Such chargers are essentially pointless.

 

Morrison's in Swindon has a post with 2x 7kw chargers.

They are CYC operated.

 

Houghton Regis store (a newish (november 2012) store), replacing a smaller one a few hundred metres away) does indeed have four points, nicely tucked away from the store entrance. Signage, but unmarked bays. All four outlets on two eletromotive posts were vandalised with the covers ripped off; spiders had made webs. Posts couldn't detect charging from the vehicle, and the vehicle didn't detect any power.
Customer service staff said "you're the first person who has tried to use them", and they didn't know they were broken. No labelling or post identifiers for fault reporting. The posts accept CYC cards but aren't labelled as such.

Reported to in-store management.

 

Milton Keynes has some in their new Central Milton Keynes store (near the train station). Type two sockets, no card, but they appear to be very slow.

 

So it seems Morrisons dont even know how many or which stores have these charge points... I wonder who has been putting them in then!

 

EDF branded down here

 

We could do wth EDF putting random posts in in North Yorks.. preferrably near whitby ;-) lol

 

Hi Jules - probably a bit far from you to be of use, but the new Sainsburys which is currently being built near the football stadium in Boro is getting chargers too.

 

Oh excellent.. Boro seems to be a good area for chargers!

 

The university ones are pretty good too - we've used them on weekends no problems. Zetland car park not worth bothering with - 3pin plug and you are limited to 2 hours. Car park behind Captain Cooks Square has been offline for a few weeks.
The best one is Stockton - Bishop Street car park - just off the high street - rapid charger

 

Houghton Regis ...
reported to in-store management.

I also reported it to Morissons Head Office, who after a while said their maintenance teams will look into it, and that I should probably report problems with the charge points to Elektromotive.. So, belt and braces, the on-site management, head office, and their charge point supplier are all aware of the problem now. Maybe it might get fixed?
Maybe it will get properly marked up and turned into an official CYC post, like other Morrisons branches?

 

Update: Morrisons Houghton Regis has one working point. I tried two other outlets. Still with a broken cover, but I got a charge from the left hand post, rear outlet, with my CYC card. Didn't show up as a transaction, so it's not an official CYC post.

When I was charging, the staff who were smoking in the smoking area (which is right next to these points) said they'd never seen anyone use it before.

• They are tucked away at the far end of the side of the store, away from the entrance, you'd only notice them if you drive to the extremities of their car park - but at least it means they're never ICEd
  
• it isn't on the National Chargepoint Registry data, so this means it won't show up on most online maps, or car satnavs. (I've added it to Openchargemap)
  
• It's not mentioned on the store information on Morrisons store finder part of their web site.
• There is no usage information on the posts, so it's only my past experience that taught me to try CYC on random Elektromotive posts.
  
• They have been vandalised, and mostly don't work.

So, in terms of murky backwaters of public charging infrastructure, it's nearly got a sign on it saying "beware of the leopard".

 

I visited the Aldershot store on Wednesday and saw the chargers. They said on the screen "Present your CYC card".
I contacted CYC and was told that these are not CYC chargers. Have emailed Morrisons to find out who's they are.

 

If it says "Present your CYC card", then it's probably a default config on an Elektromotive post - Elektromotive have a fairly large interest in CYC, and as such, CYC are Elektromotive's preferrred back-end for the posts they provide. Did a CYC card work on it? If so, no problem.

I've seen quite a few of those, they're often misconfigurations - they should (ALSO?) accept different cards, but I'm happy to have a charge that works. If it's not listed on the CYC maps, then CYC won't know if there's a fee with the charge, and it will probably just work for free.

 

Hi everyone,
I recently emailed Morrisons to find out if they were planning on putting any charge points in my local morrisons... they kindly emailed me a list of the morrisons with charge points, so I thought I'd share.

The one at Wells (if it is Wells Somerset) is not on PlugShare or ZapMap. It makes a big different to have it there in an area with very limited public access charging. Thanks for the info.

 

Can you add these yourself on plugshare if you find charge points that aren't listed?

 

Cwmbran! I'll check that one out tomorrow. Thanks

I took a trip to Morrisons in Cwmbran today and found that they do not have a charge point. Asked in store and they confirmed this

 

Oh no Shona... sorry :-(

 

There are definitely four at the Eastbourne Morrisons, although two bays were occupied by IC cars, even though the car park was half empty. If the blue light means they are working, they are working.
They are shown on Plugshare but not Zap Map.

 

Morrison's in Wells definitely has a charge point - but the Plugshare map is seriously outdated as it doesn't show the new superstore and petrol station on Strawberry Way. I'm going to test it this Friday.

 

Look forward to hearing about it. Could be a key stop for me to be able to get back east from the M5 across country.

 

Update on Wells Morrison's charge point. The superstore is off the Wells end of the A371 (Strawberry Way on the Google map also now called East Somerset Way). Enter the car park and turn left just before the store building. Drive to the end and turn left and the charge point is then on your right, clearly marked bay for EV's. It's CYC and operational.

 

Update on Wells Morrison's charge point. ...
It's CYC and operational.

It's not officially CYC, because it doesn't show on their maps, it's probably just accepting CYC cards by accident of the fact that that's the factory default at the Elektromotive factory - CYC app won't be possible because it's not properly registered with CYC. The installers or Morrison's haven't got around to registering it with CYC.

 

At least, it worked for me - which was just as well as I wasn't too sure if I could make it back home as my next nearest point is often busy with 2 cars

 

Morrisons Weybridge has two points. They are on plug share. Under cover and the store has a good cafe. What more could you want?

 

I'd spotted these - which card do you need to initiate the charge, and how much do they cost to use? I asked at the customer service desk and they didn't know.

 

I used Morrisons at meadowhead in Sheffield. 4 posts. 1 tag for the whole store to activate them. Most ice'd.

For the tag you pay £20 deposit. I did so, took the tag back.

Little did I know that I would need the tag to deactivate. I just pulled the plug from the car. It asked for the tag but I didn't have it and then after 2 mins it reset itself and released my plug. Is this normal, Is it okay to do that?

Ps only had my car 6 days. Still learning
