No obvious signs of recent ground works but I've no idea. This is South bound could you be thinking about the North bound location?That one at Oxford, I've used that before.... Have they moved the post?

It's being suggested that some of the reliability problems are the result of the pilot signal generator in the Charging Station being subjected to 100V because "it is the non std Tesla leads (made up and used on a Tesla) that have caused the issues" and these "poor quality leads come from Holland & are available off the web (I have been told they are sold in kit form)" and that "The fault can appear up to 4 charge sessions later".
I personally don't give any credence to this at all but it would help me push back if I had some idea how many Type 2 ("mennekes") leads are in use in the UK and Germany (where they claim the issue also exists) and what problems (if any) people have experienced.
Many thanks!
Ecotricty Michaelwood Services Southbound, 5 June 2012. The 13A socket was not working (no LED's and no response to card). Type 2 socket opened when card swiped but was not tested further. Fault reported to Welcome Break site manager when he appeared to photograph the Tesla. Also tweeted @ecotricity and #ukcharge a link to following video;
I had problems with the 13A at this location on the 19th June but didn't try Type 2.Another failed attempt to charge at the Ecotricity point at Michael Woods, Southbound m5.
have sent you PM with account details... once uploaded I'm happy to tweet link for you.I have a video, but my youtube/twittering is non-existent. How do I upload it to that page?
Another failed attempt to charge at the Ecotricity point at Michael Woods, Southbound m5.
Every time I tried to enable charging the light would flash yellow twice and then nothing. The Roadster never seems to see a signal. Now I'm starting to wonder if its me, though same equipment has worked many times before...
Nothing strange at all... the EV community wish to notify one another about the status of EV Charging Stations using twitter and youtube. I did not start these efforts, I simply support them. Personally, I wish you'd just deliver a reliable network so that we can charge our cars and not spend time talking about why we can'tOnly you Kevin
I've mentioned to you that dropping our team an email on [email protected] is the best way for people to get faults resolved, but still you seem to prefer tweeting and youtube... strange that...
You have conveniently taken this out of context.... what I was saying is that I don't *need* to use your network because I have the range to continue when your Charging Stations are not working. That does not mean that I would not like to use it from time to time.1. Don't need or want to use our network (you believe yours is far superior)
Again, conveniently out of context.... I was talking about your supplier who I was unwilling to help further because I had already spent a great deal of time disproving the claim that it was Tesla drivers using unapproved cables in Europe that damaged your Charging Stations.2. Are not interested in helping us 'debug compatibility problems' with your car or cables
I have said to Dale a number of times that I think he is wrong to dismiss the work of David Peilow, Andrew Bissell, Tesla, and others when they founded the first national charging station network.3. Have a personal issue with Ecotricity founder Dale Vince
When your customers (my friends) get dumped on the side of the road because of the failure of your Charging Station then I take an interest in their welfare. I actually campaign at all levels for improved public charging. If you participate in public forums then the moderators will ensure that you get treated fairly. I suggest that it's in Ecotricity's best interests to respond to the concerns that customers raise whether through twitter, forums, or email.In which case, please refrain from trying to provoke a reaction from me, and for the sake of our customers (whom you claim to represent the interests of), please refrain from participating in any threads or discussions that you would like us to respond to.
What I suggest is that you deliver a reliable network.... I also have better things to do with my time.You aren't helping - you are making things worse. I also have better things to do with my time & energy than to be trolled by you on multiple platforms.
