EV driver for 3 years but never really needed to use public chargers that much. (BMW i3 Rex) Not used Ecotricity for over 2 years as just too unreliable. Now tend to use Instavolt which is how it should be done! 95% of time I charge from home.
However, I checked out the new Polar Ultrachargers at M4 Junction 11/12 yesterday Westbound. They are not yet activated but to use them it asks you to sign up.
In addition there are some Free polar chargers near to me which require a RFID card.
On the Polar website it seems you have to sign up to a subscription at £7.85/ month to begin with?
Is that correct? I do not want any subscription based membership...
They are doing first 3 months free for now, so can I join up, get the RFIDcard, then cancel the subscription?
can I use other RFID cards which may be compatible? I do not have any at this stage.
I prefer contactless payments going forward which will be expensive, judging by how all the companies are pricing their public charger tariffs but as will not be using them that often, I don’t mind paying for the convenience if needed as contingency etc.
will hopefully be getting a second (full) EV soon, so I gather I am going to have sign up to various different company websites (Podpoint etc) for emergencies/contingency!
