Driving an electric car is all the fun of being out on the open road without the guilt of 1. harming the planet and 2. spending ungodly amounts on fuel. While you won’t have to bear the perils of the petrol station again, you will however experience a new kind of inconvenience at EV chargers.
One of the layers of faff however has been removed with the introduction of Plug and Charge stations. These power points don’t need an app or charging subscription card to use, as the name suggests you can just plug in and charge and pay using the in-car systems.
The only issue? Not all electric cars currently support Plug and Charge, although some vehicles from Audi, Porsche and Mercedez currently do.
