New Charging network launching with Q Park UK

First in the UK to offer Pay at point of service? I think not. CYC have been doing telephone IVR, without a subscription for ages.
(admittedly, they charge a premium for that service, and it's not very well publicised, and it doesn't currently work for anything other than points that would otherwise be free with a CYC membership)

Good luck, but you may have some resourcing issues if it requires that much manpower to install each site once you get the first few sites up and running. Q Park have lots of sites.

If you add them to the National Chargepoint Registry, the data will make its way onto all useful charging maps.
(There's no need to add them manually onto Zap Map, since they, and Openstreetmap get feeds from National Chargepoint Registry), and in fact Zap Map is run by the same team of people who run National Chargepoint Registry, but the data licence for National Chargepoint Registry is far easier to use.

It was parked up from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, but the only tariff suitable for me was the Friday -Monday rate of £48. I only paid for the parking, the charge was offered free by Franklin Energy as it was going to be my first charge at Liverpool One. It wont happen again.......it was an expensive parking weekend thats for sure.

It's cheaper to park up at the Seacombe ferry terminal (free parking, free charging) and get the ferry. Not ideal for everyone, but recommended for visitors to Liverpool.

In my experience, Q-Park has some of the most expensive parking in the UK.

Changing their charge points in London from Source London will mean that more people will be trying to use the awful Polar app, because Chargemaster have an aversion to handing out RFID cards to paying customers (unless they're paying lots). Given that Chargemaster don't want to pay for posting RFID cards to infrequent users, they could take a page out of Chargepoint Genie's book and allow users to register any RFID card to use their service.

Many of Q-Park's locations in London are underground car parks, with no mobile signal.

Personally, I've only once used a Q-Park in London; they're pretty much the most expensive place to park in London. I was once charged £6.50 for the privilege of finding out that the underground car park was full, and was in there for under 5 minutes, and the attendant didn't want to waive it.

So, good luck, Franklin Energy. If you get to sign up any other site hosts, I may find a use for your charge points. Q-Park are not my favourites.
