Nothing like living life on the edge Jools.Do hear horror stories about Genie point but, the one at work charges 10p per kwh (40p connection charge). We get a discounted rate which seems very good. I'm going to be a big brave boy and try it out next week.
I shall be wearing my wellingtons just in case.....Nothing like living life on the edge Jools.![]()
Come back and let us know how you got on. I've just ordered a Genie Point RFID card for £9.Do hear horror stories about Genie point but, the one at work charges 10p per kwh (40p connection charge).

I asked an online advisor from GP why I needed an RFID card and they said, " well, you don't really need one, any debit or credit card can be used"... I don't understand that really! I'll let you know how I get on and how many times I swear at the charge point/ lack of RFID card....Come back and let us know how you got on. I've just ordered a Genie Point RFID card for £9.
I've literally no idea why I just did that.
Haha, well there's £9 I've wasted then! I think I read somewhere that someone had more luck using an RFID card as opposed to a bank card/app so I was curious. There's loads of Genie Points near a family members house 100 miles away so will be ideal when In visit.

Genie point.... perhaps I'll try rubbing the side of the charger and see what happens...You can register any RFID card with Geniepoint. They have instructions on the web for the 2 charger types they have. Having said that I tried and failed! On another forum somewhere someone said they rang GP while they were at the charger, and they talked them through registering a card. I haven't been back to GP yet to try this!
Well, your first wish should be free charges for life.Genie point.... perhaps I'll try rubbing the side of the charger and see what happens...
Simple.- avoid Geniepoint and podpoint and go straight for Instavolt they are 40p.per kw/hr but we'll worth it. I have used them.3 times now, so Simple to use.just tap your card to start and stop.and go (lock car) have a coffee for 45 min and it will charge from 25% to 85% easily then.off you.go on your jolly holiday drive.Hi,
I'm going to have to top-up on a long(ish) distance journey this BH weekend. Other than "avoid Genie like the plague" - does anyone have any other advice / info? I've never used a motorway charging point before, I tend to charge slow on either the 3-pin plug or a 7kW charger in work. All I'm looking to do is to get from about 40% back up to 80ish %.
Anything I should be aware of? I'm a little hesitant just from hearing mixed reviews about motorway services chargers...
