I'll just put this out there as I'm annoyed and need to vent a little.

The #podpoint Solo 3S EV charger is completely and utterly garbage.

It either doesn't work according to the schedules set, forgets the Wi-Fi configuration at random times, or starts charging the car immediately you plug it in when it is set to their Smart Mode, and should only charge within the Schedule set.

I miss the #Myenergi #Zappi EV charger I had at my old house :(

Anyone else got a Pod Point home charger? The app has just updated and doesn't seem to have a simple charge schedule setting any more. I want to charge when I have cheap electricity (00.30-5.30am) but it only lets me choose the time I want the vehicle to be "ready at" which might mean it starting to charge before the cheap period 😭
Why make an app less functional ffs

Something going on with podpoint EV chargers or their contracts ?

Recently seen a few different sitesgo offline and taped up like this

Old hardware or ...?

E.g. Liverpool edge lane, and delamere #ev #podpoint

Hmm, it looks like #podpoint have lost the Lidl partnership.

Interesting.

@losttourist #podpoint we had a pod point installed. No issues so far (about 3.5 years).
#Podpoint is a goddamn useless piece of crap to use.

New Video!

GivEnergy EV Charger: Unboxing + First Look In The Wild!

YouTube
Nightmare journey to Beaumaris in our Nissan Leaf. Now waiting for the RAC because we haven't been able to charge the car on the way.
Stopped at 2 Macdonald's where only 1 #InstaVolt working and people ahead of us saying 1 hour wait.
2 #Osprey not working. 1 #GeniePoint not working. 2 #Swarco wouldn't accept our contact less payment. Now #Podpoint at #Lidl not working.
We ignored 3 #Ecotricity points as they haven't worked for months.
Only 5 miles range left, 18 miles to Bangor Osprey charger.

@paul Now, if only they would start upgrading them to something a bit more rapid than 7kW...

Does anyone know if there's an app that sends you notifications when a specific charger unit becomes available?
Frustrating going between Chargeplace Scotland and Zap Map etc
