Hi,

does anyone know what the deal is with new deliveries regarding free charging? Do we get free charging for three years like the us or is it just free access to the charging network but you still have to pay per kw?

Thanks. And is that access to Ionity only at that price or to others too. If its ionity we need to drive to Gretna for the nearest.

it seems a bit unclear on what the deal is in the UK

i have only used 4 charging points so far, I try and drop in on a different one every drive to work it out so when I really need to use it on low battery I won’t be stressed! None have worked with the Porsche app or card that I subscribed to. But all we’re about 33p per KW anyway. 1 I had to sign up to their app, 3 swipe a credit card. All worked fine.
I hope that helps!
I have ZapMap to filter and find charging 50kw or higher with Taycan compatible connectors.

My current closest Ionity is Gretna which is over an hour away! I've actually never actually seen it in use. Always quiet.

The good news for me is there's a new IONITY being commissioned just outside Glasgow so will be more convenient.

Having said that, in Scotland, most Charge Place Scotland chargers (there are lots) are free to use.
