More Car Charging Juice Needed Humphrey? Yes Minister.

Well I never. Haven't we said so for years? Ministers are catching on at last, bless 'em.

  • I am not sure if there are any at the garage, EV bays were on the plan, as was a cycle rack which is an obvious addition to a petrol filling station. I cannot say I noticed either. It does have a Edmundsons on the other side of the road.


    Driving down to Wales I passed close by to four branches of Screwfix and they have better signage than any EV charging points, I did not notice any EV charging poits advertised or signed at all.


    EV drivers must be members of a exclusive society with insider knowledge regarding the location of charging points.


    The Asda car park in Worcester has two charging points listed on the internet 1 x  3kW 13A  3-Square pin and 1 x  7kW 32A  Type 2 Menneke, there is a £70 penalty charge if your vehicle is in the car park for more than three hours, so how much use can those charging points be  to an EV driver?
