ABSTRACT
Most electric cars will be charged at home, but national infrastructures are developing. There are, however, competing organizations and commercial companies, so it is necessary to register with a few different organizations to access their charging points. Many businesses now also provide charging stations for staff and visitors. Some are pay in advance, some are pay as you go, and others require a monthly subscription. Many apps and websites are available for locating charge points. One of the best I have found is https://www.zap-map.com
Interestingly, having just completed a roundtrip UK journey in my PHEV of about 600 miles, I did not find any charging points on the main roads and would have had to search local towns for the facilities. I wonder why they are not available in service areas where fuel is sold by multinational oil companies…
Key Fact
There are competing organizations and commercial companies controlling charge points.
