I am a member of BP Pulse for my EV. I have been using the charger at Perry Vale, Forest Hill London where they are two 50kw chargers. Last Saturday (26th) both chargers were in use but as both were close to 70% I decided to wait. There is a sign saying maximum stay 1 hour.
Both cars charging were Uber vehicles. I spoke to the drivers and both said they would wait till reaching 100% charge. The charge from 80 to 100% takes absolute ages. Both had been there for well over an hour.
Here starts the problem - BP Pulse have no control in penalising/charging them for staying above the 1 hour. Mostly people are courteous and stop once they reach 80% (I definitely do) but these guys would not listen at all. I pointed out that they probably only get an extra 5 miles - But they did not care.
I blame BP Pulse and will be cancelling my membership. Sorry but your chargers are anything but 'smart'.
Do you have any solution to making this type of thing stop??
