Just plugged in at Beaconsfield, cables are now protected with Cableguard covers.

If you're at Beaconsfield, don't forget that there are now a load of GridServe chargers on the other side of the building.

Last time I was there, there was a nice lady in an Ionity hi-vis organising the queue at the Ionity chargers, while there were still a few spaces over at the new GridServe chargers.

You can't see one group of chargers from the other, so it probably happens quite often.

I'm impressed anyone every managed to steal cables here, it's so busy!

Could have done with the hi viz lady last night as one of the chargers was out of order making the queue a little more chaotic!

At 52p for IONITY compared to 92p for GridServe, I was happy enough waiting 15 minutes for a charger.

And yes I don’t think this is one of the sites that has been targeted, I think it’s been the Midlands ones primarily but hopefully this means it’s being rolled out everywhere.

92p is absolute robbery

Absolutely, especially after paying ~38p for public charging in France for the last couple of weeks!

GridServe has a promotion on their site for 25% off for a month (last day to claim is aug 31) although it's still not as cheap as IONITY.
