Well, yesterday marked my first year owning the PFL long range. Overall it has been a good year in that I had the full DAB fix done and the car has performed well with good economy.
Apart from trying a Tesla open charger knowing it was unlikely to work, public charging has been fine. Until...
Or so it tells me :)
To get it to show you chargers on the map you have to tap the three line icon in top right and select all the stuff you want to see. Took me a while to figure that out.
Just spotted this.
Chargeplace Scotland to be brought under private ownership | Autocar
While the network has definitely improved under SWARCO, will devolving operations down to local council level be the way forward or a huge step back?
I recently had a £30 overstay fee applied to my account for being plugged into an AC charger for over an hour. Here is my email and response from them.
Subject: Appeal against over limit charge
Message: I appeal for you to repeal the overlimit charge of £30 applied to my account for overstaying...
Hi,

But now I'm thinking about what happens when it needs recharged.
I signed up to chargeplace Scotland on the 11th August, requesting an RFID card but the card has not shown up yet. I've downloaded the app on my phone - a...
The long awaited transfer of operator of ChargePlace Scotland to Swarco was planned to take place this week.
Does anyone know if it went ahead successfully. I can't see any updates, and the ChargePlace Scotland website looks pretty much the same.
What changes might I expect to see? I'm pretty...
Driving back from Aberdeen to Inverness yesterday was a testing affair due to ChargePlace Scotland.
I stopped at Inverurie (87 miles to home) and the Rapid charger didn't work! I called the Helpline for 8 minutes but it went unanswered.
So drove on to Huntly (65 miles to home) and the Rapid...
I see SWARCO have been appointed as the new operator for ChargePlace Scotland from July 2021. I wonder what this will mean for EV drivers in Scotland?
Good points - it seems the £20 annual fee is going to be scrapped, and a new app is on the way too. The promise of better fault reporting sounds...
