Had to use Ionity .65 pkwh
Osprey was .73p. Used my Electroverse card on both. It worked well. Tesla was .35P
Home .075p
I now use open to all Tesla chargers for away from home charging even going by a slightly different/longer route than I would normally.
Me too. Such a good price even if you have to make a slight detour
Yeah that's all I use now.
Me too and the ones I have used are in good restaurant carparks. Handy for lunch and loos.
@@ralpharmsby8040 sadly the only negative to the ones I've used has been the location, I've often used them in the evenings and there has been nothing around them, not even a toilet. Still rather use them though for the good rate
All I use now is the Tesla with a membership and it’s amazing. I can’t charge at home and Tesla supercharger is about 10 mile away but well worth the trip out!
I charged as a bp pulse charger yesterday for 63p a kilowatt
Thx Dave! I wish some poeple, who make comments,would actually listen to the WHOLE video! They may benefit!😁😁👍👍
This channel is turning into a daily Tesla advert. Some of us don't have Tesla's.
I agree, I dont like them, nor have one.
I don’t even watch the videos until I’ve read some of the comments because I’m sick of the Tesla biased
He needs to tone down the Telsa love-in. Getting really boring
I would never buy a Tesla while a far right extremist who supports a party full of climate change deniers is in charge and profits from it.
Don’t like Tesla’s, the company or the owner.
Not sure Dave knows much about anything outside their marketing bubble.
If you are using one that charges £100. Just cover your number plate before you pull in to the car park. This mucks them up and as it private land it's not illegal. Or is it. who cares.
41 Tesla open to all when I lasted check
What surprises me is the difference in price at the same chargers depending on which app you use. For example a local 150 kWh charger on the OVO app is 49p but the same charger on Electroverse is 85p!
What gets me is some 7kw destination chargers are 44-50p p/kw and this is peak supercharger rate.
Shame half the video was about tesla/supercharging network. For non tesla cars, the open to all network is non-existent & not worth the mention as they are so few. Promote them when there are a lot more of them & yes they will beat the price of all other networks.
Hi Dave can you please explain the £1 per minute overstay charge ie should I set my charge limit in my polestar to say 90% but make sure I am back at my car and stop the charge before I reach the set charge value
Hi Stephen, the over stay or idle fee is to stop people leaving their cars blocking a bay once they have finished charging, preventing anyone else from using it. Whatever level you set makes no difference, set what you like, but once the car has reached that level and stopped charging, you generally have 5 minutes to remove it before being fined. Most people if they are stopping for lunch would just set a really high 90-100% level to prevent the car from stopping charging and just leave when ready, whatever the SOC has reached. Or, if it stops and you're not ready to leave, just move it into the car park area to free up the bay and stay as long as you need.
Great advice Dave.
A relative drives a Model 3, normally charges at home and uses the SC network when he’s away. He recently came to visit but needed a small charge, to get him to the nearest SC, (45mi away) for his trip home, (200+mi away). Noticing there was a rapid charger some 8mi away, he decided to go there on his way home. His family went into Costa where the charger was and instead of a quick charge, he decided just to leave it run while they had some cake & a coffee. But he was shocked by the 89p/kWh he’d been charged by Instavolt. He hadn’t bothered checking and said he’d learned his lesson. I don’t know what size battery his car has, so I don’t know what he paid but it wasn’t a bargain price.
As someone who’s long road trips is on the M6 and M5. I was hoping you would tell me if there ANY network other than Tesla on these motorways. Eg ionity is at Carlisle and Exeter! Probably further than most EV can reach.
Ionity is also at Stafford on the M6 and West Brom near the M6, M5 junction.
Gridserve have literally dozens of chargers on that route.
Have you not looked at Zapmap??
Why is the price blanked out at 14:47? Not really a secret is it?
PodPoint at Lidl is 65p but only up to 50kW CCS
eg evyve have 65p AC Charging at the Media City UK Multi-Storey, Broadway Salford
I think it's locality based. The Lidl near me is £0.79/kWh. Aldi on the other hand have a free charger but only at 7.2kW.
i have a powerwall app but ive tried to add my none Tesla but i cant work out how to do it
Osprey cables very heavy
I have a Hyundai ionic 5 2024 and I only get about 3p off ionity. It’s not worth the bother.
For some chargers the Charge My Hundai card is actually more expensive. Local McDonald's is £0.85 on electroverse and £0.91 on the Hyundai card.
Always fun when only able to use AC chargers
Just look at the video below Herz dumped their EVs or but petrol
How would we know which not to use? Is there a sign on them?
Yes, it's labelled "the price"!
@@davetakesiton Thank you Dave
Its obvious .... Tesla of coarse
😅
We did a weekend away from Plymouth via Birmingham to Millwall then reading and back to Plymouth via Tesla in our BZ4X @davetakesiton - it was amazing! Cheap and nice!
