Great to see charging infrastructure issues hitting the mainstream press;

"The number of points at which drivers can recharge their vehicles is rising fast, but as Dominic Tobin discovers, many of them do not work properly"

I must be one lucky person then as every charge point I have used in the UK has worked for me.
So far I have used 9 different charge points spread over the country (5 this weekend alone) and some of them multiple times :biggrin:

Yes, you're very lucky... last week just under 50% of the rapid chargers in the UK were offline.

If you give me the specific locations you visited then I can give you a more informed response (for example if you visited ZeroNet locations then I'd have been very surprised if any were offline :wink.
