As an Ecotricity customer you might think I would be smug about recharging for free, but any advantage I might have is more than offset by communication anxiety.
Will there be a good ‘phone signal?
Will I have enough data allowance?
Will the app work?

For goodness sake Ecotricity provide individually identified swipe cards for your customers at least!

As a new owner of a Zoe I read with interest this post..

I had to laugh when I read the following…. A rapid charge of up to thirty minutes will cost £6, still significantly less than the equivalent cost of a petrol or diesel car…

Unless I’m mistaken My Zoe can travel on a motorway about 80 miles on a full charge.. This would cost £6 on the electric highway to charge my car.

My 13 plate Ford 1.6 Diesel does 65mpg at motorway speed with the fuel at £1.10 per ltr this equates roughly to £5 for 65Miles.

Therefor 80 miles in diesel would be £6.15

HOW is a £6 charge cheaper, and SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than £6.15.

As far as I can see this charge is a rip off… A fair price would have been between £1 and £2 for a Charge.

Would love to hear from the company where they got their vastly inflated price point.

Thanks I didn’t notice that £12 for two charges… I sent them an email and received a reply that they are looking again at their pricing model, so perhaps they have realised going from free to £6 might hve been a bit harsh.
