Charging Networks - which to use

[caseys]

Afternoon All,

I might have missed it on the this forum but I can't find a clear thread that discusses who uses which public charging network.

I'm a member of Polar Network myself (https://polar-network.com)- which has a reasonable amount of chargers around, the fees are OK and every month you can enter a draw to win a week in various EVs from a Twizy to a Tesla Model X. Currently using a PHEV but my i3 BEV arrives shortly so I think my reliance on public charging when I'm out and about will grow. Polar also gives access to a lot of points and the free chargers in my local Waitroses require the card (but don't bill you for use).

Also whilst a lot of Tesla owners probably know this as common knowledge I came across the website https://supercharge.info today and it's quite interesting to see all the data that people are building up about it all.

What other public schemes do people generally use and have found their advantages and drawbacks like? Anyone tried using Shell's network around central London?
