I believe that Chargemaster now have some of the rapid chargers up and running at these locations:

MK Coachway, 1-7 Coachway Road, Broughton, Milton Keynes MK10 9RU
Travelodge Hotel Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes MK9 1AL
SMK Bus Station, Elder Gate, Milton Keynes
Outside Xscape, Avebury Boulevard, Milton Keynes
Northfield Drive, Northfield, Milton Keynes
Silverstone Circuit Innovation Centre, Silverstone, Northants
Silverstone Circuit Wing, Silverstone, Northants
Cheltenham Racecourse, Cheltenham, Gloucester
W. Ganderton, Swan Garage, 20 Bridge Street, Buckingham MK18 1AF
Elms BMW, Clifton Parc, Caxton Rd, Bedford MK41 0GL
Oxford Belfry Hotel, Milton Common, Thame, Oxfordshire OX9 2JW
Elms BMW, 4 Sheepfold Ln, Cambridge CB23 6EF

Has anyone on here actually used one yet with their i3?

No petrol tank in mine ;-)

So, has anyone used a rapid charger with their i3 yet??

That will only charge your i3 at 7KW.

It is a shane, however ecotricity are committed to rolling out CCS rapid chargers this summer.

It should work with a BMW ChargeNow card. Have you got one of those?

You need one of the new Chargemaster cards. And be prepared to pay £7 / 30 min.

Presumably you can just use the app then? The BMW ChargeNow card should work too.

I'm not too worried about the cost (although it is outrageous) as I won't use them that often. Just handy for taking the i3 longer distances.

According to my correspondence with ChargeMaster it should work with your ChargeNow card.

I would call ChargeMaster and report that it didn't work.
