Is this (chargemap) just as a backup to the superchargers? Was planning a France trip with the family and was going to rely on superchargers and the UMC. Will have a look. Thanks ~ S

It’s super useful for localised charging. Superchargers are great for arterial routes but if you’re heading into more remote parts of France, they’re quick and easy options for a quick top up.
The main reason I use Chargemap is my parents place is remote but also in a village where we don’t really want to park the car down a side road for too long as it could block residents.
It was easier to top up whilst out and about then give it a small charge when back, than having to leave it constantly plugged in.
They’re having a 7kw charger installed this year as we both have Model Ys now. I’m heading down next week but this was last year.

Have you got a Chargemap card? They're invaluable in France and I found that there were many more charge points available than in the UK.
Having said that, a tough leads cable is a must. I've got a 20m one with both a UK & EU plug so that I'm never stuck if we're staying somewhere without charging infrastructure.
