From Andrew Till / Mr. EV
.

We’re always hearing stories about how awful EV charging infrastructure is, so I thought I’d see for myself. Having just moved house, I decided to avoid plugging into the lovely, easy, 3-pin socket at home and instead rely on public chargers for a month.

This is how it went for us but I’d love to hear your experience. Tell me in the comments!
