I pay a subscription of about £7.00 a month for access to the BP Polar Charger network at a discounted rate of £0.15 per kWh.
This would be worth it, but the charger I tried at Crick in Northampton isn't working on the CCS connection. They may as well discount it down to £0.01 per kWh as its pointless if they dont work.
The other problem is finding the damn things. They hide them away in the back of hotel carparks where you have to go into the hotel and register your car or get a £100 parking fine. This is a system run by BP. They need to ensure ALL the chargers they have work. More than that, they need to install them in more accessible locations on their forecourts in the same way that Shell are doing. I ended up using the Shell charger 15 miles further on.
Rant over - for now.
