Not venturing out much or far since last March.
However, back in June 2020 I had reason to venture out to Northampton to see a customer. I took a route that meant I could stop at Cherwell Services on the M40. I did so twice over the period of a month. On both occasions the Charger unit that offered CCS charging was powered off and not functional.
I did call Ecotricity at the time and they said they were waiting for a component to repair it. Accepting this I had no reason to venture that way again. That is until today. Once again the CCS charger was powered down and not functional. I called Ecotricity and they confirmed it was faulty. I asked when they thought it would be repaired. The agent advised me that they did not have to tell me. I then asked when the unit had last been functional. Again the agent advised that they did not have to tell me.
I then called the MOTO Service Station Duty Manager to advise that the EV charger was not working and that I would not be stopping to spend money in their restaurant. The duty manager told me it was not their problem as they don't run the car park!
At this point I gave up and found a nearby Polar charger.
