No one talking about how £0.79 per kwh is absolutely insane.
-
Having driven EVs for the last 12 years, I now know from experience that EV range need not be farther than your bladder range, and that the charging speed need not be faster than your rest room speed.
-
The "it just works" ethic is always thrilling to see enacted. It really shouldn't be a rarity, life doesn't need to be so difficult. More of this approach to everything we do, please!
-
Used this when I got back from Copenhagen over the holidays. Charging was straightforward. Unfortunately got back later than the upstairs was open so had to brave the road to walk to McDonald's... which was a dismal experience. Charging was great though.
-
The man is called Toddington!!! Destined to be a services manager! Very impressive place though
-
Now this is exactly what is required country wide 👍👍
-
I am surprised that no. one has built something similar here in California. It's very surprising that some coffee chain like Starbucks has not partnered with a charging operaator.
-
Loads more of these, all over the world, at off peak home Tarif rates...
-
A drone flying at Gatwick Airport and not far off the line of the runway. That must have taken a bit of arranging.
-
Cost? How could you not mention what it costs. It's VERY EASY to provide these type of services at high price. This needs to be available and it also needs to be cheap.
-
Dover would be a great place for one of these, the charging options there could be better.
-
I've been to the Gridserve in Norwich - so easy to use, clean and tidy.
-
I worked for Toddington in the past. Great guy. Wish the company all the luck they deserve.
-
Please answer this. Why are Gridserve chargers 79p/kWh and Tesla chargers are 44p/kWh
-
To everyone involved in the Gridserve, well done and thank you!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
-
Wow, fantastic! Looking forward to these all over the world!
-
Hopefully one day in the future We can convert all our filling stations/ Petrol stations into electric forecourts With solar on the roofs. With an old pump In the corner for the old cars.
-
When it comes to airports I would much rather have a trickle charger where I park so I can jump out of the car and catch the flight than an SuperCharger where after I spend 20 minutes topping up and then have to find a place to park before going to the gate.
-
I have used the Gridserve in Norwich when I’ve visited a friend there for the last couple of years. Always such a lovely experience!

So nice to see these things. In the south of France things are coming along nicely too. You find charging stations at many of the "aire's" (motorway service stations), including a new one just built along the A64 at the Aire d'Hastingues. Ionity has installed a dozen charging stations in each direction, including 2 stations on each side for vehicles towing, with all the plugs (CCS/Chademo/AC Type 2) and they have tap-to-pay as well as the app/QR code. Of course, being an aire, they have all the services (loo, resto, etc) ... not quite as nice as the Forecourt in this video but pretty good. It's about time.
