Great to hear.
Also big news is Gridserve are buying 25% of Electric Highway (ecotricity on motorways) and they are backed by Hitachi. So they will be renewing all the motorway pumps with dual car ones and also expanding.
Fully Charged announcement.

Some work fine, and the bad reputation will disappear as the old hardware gets replaced.
For the moment, however, when planning a journey, it's still worth assuming that they will either be out of service or occupied. Even two CSS rapids on a motorway service station is not enough.

I have had problems charging with them lately. Paradoxically, when they were free to use in the early day I had no problems. I think they relied on quantity rather than quality to capture the market and kind of fell on flat onto their faces with this. I remember at one point I was stuck for a long time waiting for customer services to troubleshoot the charger. They eventually managed to get it sorted. Luckily the weather was not bad and I was in no rush as there were a fair few “okay try that now to see if it works”

To add to the message above. Being fair to them. They put their chargers on free vend if there is a network problem with them. Don’t think others do that but please correct me.
