I've just got back from a week or so in France and my bills have all landed and they are very strange!
A UK charge using my ChargeMyHyundai RFID card (1 yr free membership) was £21.42 for 32.195KWh at a Shell Recharge (A34 Newbury Bypass) on the way to the ferry was much as expected. £0.66 pKWHr.
On the way back we used a ChargeMap card for a single fill in Caen on a 20KW local charger costing £35.62 for 58.377kwh so £0.61 pKWhr. Again much as expected.
Here's the fun bit!
We used the ChargeMyHyundai card for the rest of the trip on teh motorways and charged up 6 times using the 350KW Ionity chargers.
This was the first one 39.131 KWhr for £6.92 - i.e. less than £0.18 KWhr!
This was the last one 42.363 KWhr for £9.13 -i.e.£0.21 per hour. The difference between the two charges of £0.03 is the exchange rate back to GBP.
All the other 4 charges are at the same c£0.20 per KWHr - it is cheaper than charging at home!
The app/website says we should be charged 0.69€
Has anyone else (UK based) been to France and used the Ionity chargers at this rate via their 'free' ChargeMyHyundai RFID card?
I am thinking this is an error and it will catch up with me! Or it is just a first (connection?) charge and there is a second charge to come but the invoice is pretty clear!
Interested to hear others experiences
