Recently I have been running an experiment to see if its possible to own and EV and charge it only using public charging stations Details here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/can-man-live-public-charging-alone-jonathan-tracey?trk=pulse_spock-articles

I was there yesterday lots of ground works but looks like they are widening the entrance, could not see anything that resembled a supercharger

I dont see any label under my wheelarch

How can we tell what pack we have ?

Strange only existing ones show for me

lots of rumours but little actual evidence That once at hopwood has been there since before the ecotricity spat, so dont hold out hope for that one Rumours of one at westfield in london and one at green park in reading but nothing confirmed

Hi Mario yes we have a very significant number live today, and another 60 going in as part of an EU rollout in the next few months. We should be well over 200 by christmas

Ray if you need any help from the UK guys let us know, happy to go test out some local chargers if you need to ensure you dont turn up to a broken one

Nice photos, where in relation to the front door is that, never been there but suspect will visit soon :-)

yes they make you put £20 on account to be able to access the free to use chargepoints on their network Be aware not all 7kw are free infact they charge for some 3kw as well

Polar instant only works if you pre pay credit for paid charge points (even if you only intend to use free 7kw ones) or its crazy over priced Rapid chargers (£7.50 for 30 minutes) Search for Open Charge Map or access Ecotricity's website for their map

not too many red or blue sockets here in the UK, lots of type 2 and most of the CHademo units are multiconnector so you can use the 22kw type 2 on them.

Kevin will the talk be recorded in any way, unfortunately wont be able to make the trip this time

any news or hints on the second location in the UK ?

A few more photos
