Utumno
2 x Model Y LR (2022 Q2 & 2023 Q3)
I did Oxford > Bray > Solihull > Oxford today and the Tesla in-car satnav directed me to an Osprey stall without any intervention from me, though I manually opted for a Supercharge at Wheatley due to a combination of per kWh cost (SuC cheaper than Osprey) and the fact Mrs U wanted a StarbucksI am just on a roadtrip to Scotland from London and try to use the Electric Universe card only as I have some charging credit from when I got the car.
I can say that it works well and is very easy (used on Shell Recharge, Osprey and Ionity so far - all just like a contactless card. The are slower though, I never got more than 150kw even on 350kw Ionity chargers at low battery.
Having said that, it's a faff when you have to plan yourself where you stop, etc. With the SuC the car does it all for you, and it's even easier with just plugging in ... you stop where it tells you to, then continue.
Overall, Supercharger wins any time for me, by a mile. But this is a solid second place and a good alternative.
So I think the faff factor of manual planning, once “reliable chargers” are being advertised by networks into Tesla’s navigation systems, is going away little by little. Payment, obviously, is more of a faff outside Tesla’s ecosystem!
