Public car park charging points
Discussion
I'm thinking of making the move to EV and one of the charging options that might work for me is finding public car parks with charging points. I can't imagine they let you park your car in one all day though at a charging point? If nothing else it's a bit anti social. I'm just trying to work out the practicalities of driving to one of the city centre offices I might need to visit where I might be for 5 or 6 hours
Thanks - the anti social bit was if I only needed say only 3 hours charging but blocked the space for double that time. A friend has charging points at his work and its a first come first served thing and they've worked out a friendly system of moving cars at lunch time but thats easier if you know the people. They mostly have PHEVs so don't take forever to top up.
A lot to learn but as I do 25k miles a year, mainly in 200 mile round trips, I can't afford to get it wrong. I'm looking at teslas so the range should normally be fine but sods law will have me doing a 400 - 500 mile circuit over a few days without returning home. The DC charging being added/enabled on the Tesla will make a big difference as a comfort 30 mins stop at a service station will be pretty handy
