Wait till you try a Shell rapid charger on the motorways… about 90p / kWh

I'm amazed at the number of EV drivers that use the Shell Recharge points just 50 yards from my local O2A Tesla chargers which are ½ the cost. All I can think is the Tesla chargers aren't listed in the nav like non Tesla chargers are. Tesla doesn't come up on our Ioniq 5 charger listening, it's marked as "other" instead.

Like Ali, it's the exception for us to use public charging, with 300 miles of range, we seldom go more than 150 miles away from home.

I avoid Shell like the plague.
I often wonder at Reading West, sat on the open Tesla chargers watching everyone use the Gridserve opposite

.
I think you’re right - it’s just not well known or highlighted on mapping.

So, can anyone use the Tesla chargers?
I was under the impression they are different to the usual.
This is all new to me, my missus has a new EV Mini.

Some, not all, are open to any vehicle but must be used via the app.
Download it, then take a look - when you don’t link the app to a Tesla, it’ll show the open ones only. You can also filter a map via their website.
