Hi all,
Have just got back from doing a shop at our local Tesco in Sleaford & noticed that the much awaited EV charging points are now in place - but not working. There appear to be 5 spaces, with 5 or 6 charge points available. Ok, great - but isn’t this of local interest only I hear you say? Well, maybe, BUT a couple of them were 50 kW DC chargers, in addition to the 7kW AC usual ones that I’ve seen at other Tesco locations.
Now then, are they free to use? If so then that’s excellent and would make the trip worthwhile - as I’ve calculated that the “free” charge on a 7kW charger won’t cover the energy to get me home - given that I‘m usually in there about 20 mins. But ”free” 50 kW is another matter. On the flip side regular DC charging isn’t the best thing to do.
Thoughts/comments please .....
