In Episode 196 Gary looks at the recently implemented Public Chargepoint Regulations 2023 and how these relate to a charging station near you. These regulations mandate things such as contactless payment, roaming, 24/7 help lines, charger reliability and public access to charger data. There's lots of detail underneath these regulations that need defining clearly to ensure the EV driver is being well served by them. This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.
