  • The Source London app has been so borked since the user migration last year.

    Now it won't even open on my phone.

    So annoying.

  • Likewise, the BP Pulse near me has been out of service for about 4 months now.

    With Source and BP both effectively out of action, the closest I've got is char.gy about 3/4 of a mile away and very expensive to use at 33p/kWh.

    My target cost is always below 25p/kWh.

    3/4 mile and above average cost isn't an incentive to do it, so I'm mostly running the petrol engine when I drive.

    Pod Point are the best... super reliable, cheap... but not ubiquitous unfortunately.

  • My target cost is always below 25p/kWh

    Isn't domestic electricity heading very close to that, or will be in April when the price cap changes?
