I won’t bore you with a blow by blow account of our two weeks in Skye, but I thought it worth posting about my experiences with the CPS chargers.
My first stop was at the Glencoe Mountain Resort. Beautiful scenery, and a nice cafe (in a Portacabin after the fire last year). The charger started nicely, but after about three minutes it cut out, and I couldn’t restart it. I tried the emergency stop button, thinking that might reboot it, but still nothing. I tried ringing CPS, but gave up after 20 minutes in the queue!

So off we went to Fort William to check out the new Superchargers. Another Model 3 was already on the CPS charger next door. So no charge here either.
We finally got a charge at the new CPS rapid at the old Skye Bridge Toll Office, arriving with 17%.

Today we had a drive to Portree, and I thought I’d see what state the charger was in. It has been out of action for weeks while they appear to be working on drainage. It’s currently the only CPS charger with a free car wash dip.

On our way “home” we went to the new CPS rapid in Dunvegan car park. It started at 36kW at 13%, and once it had warmed up the battery it was pulling 49kW. We left at 95%.
