The key elements include six high speed charging hubs on motorways capable of charging eight vehicles simultaneously; 16 high speed charging hubs capable of charging four vehicles simultaneously; additional high power chargers at 34 current 50 kW locations; upgrading over 50 22 kW chargers to 50 kW, and replacing up to 264 locations with 528 charge points at the pre-existing pilot grade of 22 kW to next generation high reliability models.

When I returned to the car over an hour later, it wasn't charging. Checking the app told me that the point I was plugged in to was available, and that I had taken just a couple of hundred Watts of charge. When I unplugged, the socket went out of service. Now, if you came along looking for a charge, you might have been cursing me, but I had done nothing wrong. I just put it down to a flaky socket, as there was a Volvo PHEV working away on the other socket.

Black_Knight wrote: » Hit a snag in my thinking. When I query by CCS or by CHAdeMO, it'll return back as CHARGING for both, implying both are being used. It kinda doubles my usage stats on those units. It's a common fault, so "highest usage" will still be true, but it doesn't help gather stats on whether CCS or CHAdeMO is most popular.

I'm running some apps on google console and they had the first year free. Or you can go the virtual hosting solution something like https://www.hetzner.com/cloud. I think it is a nice project and I would happily donate some funds to.

innrain wrote: » DCLite in Cavan is faulty on the DC side but if you don't use filters it will display green on the app because the AC is still functioning. What is wired about it is that there is a note saying that the AC on this units is restricted. How much can you restrict a 10A outlet and still call it charger? Does this counts towards the 98% uptime?

ELM327 wrote: » 44kW in Westport is a good upgrade. Westport is well supported with AC chargers but a DC will be great. Pre Covid we holidayed in Westport a lot, (always in the same room in the same hotel!) and the destination charging in the town was super helpful. Made local trips (eg to Achill) very doable.

Black_Knight wrote: » Oh, also pulling AC43 usage too, for the 7 who used it today. I'll do a big reveal next week on who fast charge point(s) were not used in 7 days, and what was the most used (NI obviously, but more interesting to see what paid fast charge point was most used).
Black_Knight wrote: » Reveal time. The last 6 days (because my 7th day ago had a bit of a glitch in it) is shows the following. I've not checked to see if any unit was not used at all, but of the97 fast charger sites92 were used at some point37 were "faulted" or "unavailable" at some point52 (which includes faulted/unavailable) were in a "I'm less than 100% sure that i'm going to be able to use that charger when I pull up" state.
