I disagree with him on that other than the door handles that are as bad as people say.
I had a Lotus Esprit Turbo ... with Morris Marina door handles
Please feel free to crack the you should go out more jokes
Don't blame me, I asked Chat GPT:
"Sounds like your friend's electric vehicle is a bit like a homebody! Maybe it needs to 'charge' up its social life and venture out to more public charging stations. After all, it could use a 'jolt' of excitement outside the comfort of home!"
You can survive peeps. Trust me.
For me its not so much the availability of 3rd party public charging, its the faffing about when you get there.
Do I have a sutiable APP? If not I don't really want to stop there at all (unless I'm likely to use them again). I have an APP I got for Ireland when we went there a couple, of years ago, and Ecotricity and Pulse (or something like that) since WAY before then. Clearly, since then, I have managed just fine with SuC alone ... so I would be well stuffed if, tomorrow, I suddenly needed 3rd party.
And when I plug in how long have I got to faff about telling the APP what stall I'm at, and initiating the charge and, as a "not often" 3rd party charge user, hanging around to make sure it ramps up and so on?
And is it likely that it won't work? and I have to try a different stall ... or, worse, a different site? May not be the case, but The Media has told me plenty about how rubbish it is
(and it WAS back when I used it umpteen years ago)
