Charging electric cars on Club sites.

Link on post Brue. I would have thought that the rate would be about what l would expect and have no doubt that supermarkets will do similar.

You'll have to take my word for it at present. There is a system in place for users. 

 The website shows several EV charging points in our area and most seem to be on private company HQs or out of use

I do believe you Brue! You paid £4.75 and not a flat £5 

I said £3 to plug in....OH thinks this has been reduced now but he's saying "get off that forum"..... (probably wants his tea.)

£3 to plug in and £1.75 to charge? £5 does seem a likely flat rate Brue. I have to start tea in 10 mins as well  

No pun intended?

As a diesel tow car owner who uses club sites only when they are more acceptable than others, I would simply stop using club sites if they were even less competetive. I think the club is already charging just about the maximum possible without significant resistance from its customers. 

The policy of allowing unlimited electricity consumption on the pitch was not intended to supply energy to be taken off site and used elsewhere. EV technology is being developed to enable more energy to be stored in batteries so that range can be increased, and so more energy will have to be drawn from the supply. 

Smart metering is the only sensible way for the future. Smart metering operating cost will fall just as fast as the other aspects of Smart energy usage.

just out of interest I was inspecting a college a few weeks and walking in with one of their staff I noticed that he had a leaf and was charging it at one of the points in the college car park. More of interest was that this charge was completely free to him. So he drove to work, charged it during the day and basically got free fuel. This was under the government's workplace charging scheme which I hadn't really heard about. Apparently it was further expanded in the recent budget:

For those people who own an electric car and have free charging through their company the government has some more good news.

“People who charge their electric vehicles at work will not face a benefit in kind tax,” said the Chancellor.

Last month the government announced a brand-new bill that could actually force petrol and service stations by law to install charging stations for electric and hybrid vehicles.

No its not supplying electricity to do with as you wish, as per another post its supplying electricity to use ON SITE.  You have not paid for electricity to charge your car that was never the intention, if you want to charge a car you should pay for the electricity and the infrastructure to do it.
