What are the best public charging services and available discounts for someone needs to charge publically for a short while?

As the title asks; the delivery of my Tesla Model Y draws near and it seems it’s going to be falling this side of the year Q4 2022.

Currently I live in a rented, terraced property but my wife and I have purchased a new build - currently being built which will have a double driveway and already comes preinstalled with a Hypervolt charger…problem is, I don’t expect the house to be ready till the end of January 2023.

I’ll have to charge publicly for around 3 months and I’ve been looking at what the most cost effective way to do that would be.

- As an Octopus Energy customer, I seen that I can get 5% off all Electric Universe (previously Electric Juice) partnered charging networks. I also like that my public charging payments just come through on my energy bill each month.

- I’ve also seen a company called Bonnet who offer a subscription for £2/mo I can get 10% off all the charging networks partnered with them.

So this is just an open ended question to people who might have some knowledge about other services or ways to reduce the cost of charging publicly as much as possible in the situation I’ll be facing.

I survived on Public Chargers for 3 years until they got so busy that it became impractical

Blimey!

They were also free to use which was also a driver, in Scotland about 40% of Local Authorities still are free under the Chargeplace Scotland Scheme.

If you have nothing helpful to say simply move on to a post where you can add value

That is pot kettle black Sir. As i said. sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.... some of us penny pinch by doing our own accounts or maybe just because we dont trust accountants

They all have +s and -s. I like ABRP for planning but Electromaps does a great job for impromptu charging.
