Part ownership of a Ripple Wind Turbine, fancy it?

Got our energy "bill" for October from Octopus a couple of days ago. Turns out our share of WT1 generation covered that with 12p to spare.
While it includes EV charging at home, costs for charging when away were not included.

Ad, did you get yourself an Octoverse EV charging card?

Hi Joe, thanks for asking, not as yet. Haven't looked at it in any seriousness as mostly home based but happy to learn of pro's and con's from those prepared to share their experiences with it.

It's a handy card to have. Very well taken care of for number of chargers in England and Europe. I use that card plus an ionity and chargeplace Scotland. Not a fan of podpoint. Had a stuck cable there. Other than that it's all been good.

Also when using the Octoverse card and owning a part of WT1 your car converts to a virtual hovercraft.

The only chargers I've ever had a problem with have been Podpoint ones. Not a fan of them as a company at all, TBH. We don't often use public charging, mostly we charge the car at home, or occasionally at destination chargers when away, and the three times I've had charging problems when away have all been when using Podpoint destination chargers.

I've got one but have never used it yet.

I'm a bit peeved I cannot use it for payment for Supercharging from my Tesla account, not that I do much supercharging.

Would also be handy if I could pay the Birmingham bypass toll on it too.

I am hoping to take a run up to Kinlochbervie in the next couple of weeks to have a look at the turbine house and burn feeding the hydroturbine. Not been up there before, will take the I5 for the run and an outside charge or two.

That's good enough for me then. Duly signed up, I take it you have the app as well!

No idea what the card is Joe, not heard owt about it (as a octopus leccy user) is it in early days roll out?

i'd like to give up the bp one, subscriptions not worth it the leaf is home charged & our eu card pretty much covers everything these days, its not 2016 anymore so plenty of competition out there nowadays.

Can't see many providers we use currently, however that can change.
