Hi all

On a bit of a road trip, have planned the route around type 2 charge points.

I can use my own charge cable ok, but even though the last energy supplier took a holding deposit, the charge failed to initialise and the deposit returned.

It has happened several times now and makes me think I have a setting wrong in the car.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

I will post details of the trip at a later time in the appropriate thread.

Does your car not have a CCS charging port?

For what it's worth my own car can only utilise type 2. I will not take it outside its home charging range because the majority of public type 2 charge points in Kent have been abandoned by their operators, and can not supply electricity. I have no reason to believe it is any different at your end of the country so I consider your proposed road trip to be very risky if you are reliant on type 2.

Hi and thanks for the response, no it does not have the CCS plug, just the type 2.

Whilst I understand your point about some suppliers not maintaining there charge points, the latest one was at a Best Western Hotel, the charge points were relatively new, a security deposit was taken, but the the charge failed to start.

In itself it doesn’t spoil the trip, as the petrol / normal hybrid modes take over and we still get a pretty decent mpg, but the plan was to start each day with a full tank and full battery, optimising the efficiency of the car.

Hopefully it will be a setting on the vehicle, making the journey back a lot less infuriating.

Cheers again, arrividerci 😎
