Bonjour
I am going to visit my mum in Dieppe and taking my MG5 Facelift for the first time.
Trip over its a shame the Ferry doesn't have any charging options as the car will be sat in the hull for 4 hours. I wouldn't mind paying high costs just to take advantage of the time. Hopefully one day they will.
I have checked on previous visits and know where most of the chargers are in the area. One makes me laugh as it is next a vending machine that makes pizza 24/7. I will obviously not be using it but enjoying the true delights of locally fresh food.
I have read back through old threads on payment options in France but with recent changes to charging cost etc I wanted to revisit and get the latest recommendations.
I know there is a Lidl or Aldi near her house that does free charging. I have seen on here people talking about using these and wanted to find out if they needed to use a card/app to start the charge. If they did what card/app did they use?
I have the Electric Juice (Octopus) card but wanted check what are the current recommendations for cards and apps in France.
Side note I have ordered my Crit-Air sticker which should be waiting at her house for me when I arrive. Will probably not need it but for the 4 euro it costs seems silly not to get one.
Many thanks as always.
