27 February (Part 2) - Zap Map App
By
chance I was browsing around a phone App called Zap Map last night to see if it
included Bexley’s new electric car charging points. Zap Map aims to list every
charging point in the country and sure enough Bexley’s new ones were there.
As they are all internet connected they can be interrogated to see if they are
in use and if not when were they last used.
None I looked at had been in use over the past 24 hours and one had not been
used in the last six days.
One was reported as being completely out of order.
The fee is £1·20 to make the connection after which the electricity used is
free. That makes an hour’s stay not much more than charging at home on a standard rate which
is not at all bad but obviously it would be best to stay connected longer. What
are the parking restrictions, I have not seen a live one yet to be able to check?
