I do think we need a proper licensing regime to ensure top standards of service and that only competent businesses get to provide what is critical national infrastructure at this vitally important point in the transition to EVs …. Good luck with your journey …

Off to Cornwall & planning my charging, only two ultra rapids within a 40 min drive of where we’ll be. ⬇️ Of course the @bppulseuk units are broken, so I’m down to one! ⚡️ At what point do some network operators begin to understand they’re running critical infrastructure! 🙄

EV charge points are part of our critical national infrastructure and the operators of such should therefore be licensed. This would help ensure they comply with things like customer service/ redress, labelling, minimum down time, etc. Leaving it to the market isn’t good enough

Sunday stress on my Buzz road trip thanks to the UK charging network. @ElecHighway Keele Services ❌ @bppulseuk Stafford ❌ @InstaVoltUK Warwick ✔️ but I’m only getting 26.9kW and I’m paying for 125kW! I also have to drink horrible McDonalds tea. Fancy a chat @Mark_J_Harper?

That’s why charge point operators should be licensed to ensure: standards of use, price labelling, disabled access, data security, data sharing, minimum down time, correct output, cleanliness, noise, etc, etc. After all this is critical national infrastructure

‘Charger rage’ is sadly a reality. With no system for queuing, chargers that don’t deliver anywhere near the output they advertise & patchy, unreliable infrastructure we have a long way to go. Time to take the focus off the number of chargers & address some of these issues! ⚡️
