Plug-in vehicle charging is dependent both on the technology built into the vehicle and into the charging infrastructure.
When the charging capability of the vehicle is less than that of the charger, then the vehicle will charge only at the maximum speed allowed by the vehicle.

6. EV Owners Top Tips: Very Satisfied Customer
(1) Some supermarket chargers are still free, and a few offer up to 22kw charging, also free. So get, and keep with you, a 22kwhr 3-phase type 2 charging cable. That way you can get the best from your car's AC charging capability.
(2) Keep a close eye on metered power declared by chargers. A Geniepoint near me declared 11kw delivered even though my car's basic cable was only capable of 7kw, and the car only received 7kw. If it wasn't free at point of charge this would be mis-selling.
Kind Regards, Myke (very satisfied customer)!
Until next time. Have a fantastic week!

Is there a system out there that can tell you when you are approaching a ChargePoint whether the machines are available and working, i.e. when on the M5 approaching Michaelwood services, are the chargers available and if not what about the next set of services?
