Unfortunately three attempts by me today on different Ecotricity chargers and three fails, well one was iced and a queue of people hunting for the culprit.
We drove from home to Edinburgh today, ca. 210 miles, the first stop at Gretna Green services (BTW Ionity is nearly ready to go live, 4 stalls - pictures in the Ionity thread) the Ecotricity failed 4 or 5 times so I gave up. I re-booted the charger, got to green a couple of times, locked the car straight away, did all the tricks I could remember, even called Ecotricity and they reset it at their end, no good. Two chargers there but only one has a CCS outlet.
So we drove on to the next one, that was at Annandale services North, the only Ecotricity was ICE'd there was a queue of cars waiting to charge and some numpty had parked his mini bus in the charging bay. There was a very helpful Nissan Leaf driver who told me a charger at Abington Village was working and on free vend. So we set off again, and called at Abington Services to try their Ecotricity, again, 5 or 6 attemps, all failures, same problems and procedures as Gretna Green. Just down the road a coulple of miles in Abington Village there is a public car park and sure enough there was a CPS/CYC E Volt rapid charger, so I tried that, three failures but then it started to work, could have been user error the first attempts as I have never used them before. But anyway, it gave me around 33% charge in about 30 minutes so happy days. There is a general store less than 100 metres away that sell nice coffees, don't have a cake though they are awful
So, we may call at that one again on the way home, or maybe the Ionity chargers will be working (doubtful) at Gretna Green. One can only hope.
PS just as we got back to the car at Abington there was another I Pace ready to charge waiting for us to leave, first one I have seen other than mine on the road.
