Thanks for the useful info. This thread was starting to go a bit awry.
No problem L3nny, it did used to be free but then Electric Highway decided to charge for a charge LOL. They have since changed this so its a £3 connection fee then 17p a unit so has dropped the price down. There are still plenty of free chargers about but these aren't rapids.

Most of my charging does take place at home with no increase to my monthly DD. The new Zoe's however do have better range now and although advertised as 250, in the real world people are getting around 180 to 200 miles from a charge.
