No issues. Fired up through the electroverse app without any problem. Got 62kW charge speed, but that was with a cold battery.
Got some fast charge while doing a quick shop in Lidl across the road. Over 70kW power. 65p/kWh through the Zest App.
No instructions on how to start a charge, screen says press the button, but that doesnt start the charge. Contactless reader just didnt respond the first 3 times. No pricing information displayed. No idea how much the charge cost either before, during or after. This should be clearly on the charger screen (like a petrol pump) without having to get another app. In the end, it did start but only after a lot of faffing and trial and error on the exact process - it's totally unclear. Doesn't work with VW WeCharge or electroverse.
Good introduction to Pickering and convenient for those staying locally or travelling through, with 2 CCS connections. Easy access to the town centre and the wide range of shops. If this charger is fully occupied, there is another 2 units near by at Vivis Lane Car Park with 4 CCS connections.
Charger is not working, Both Creditcards were not able to start a charge, also the official zest app shows the charger as available but was not start a session. The number provided did not respond.
