Mmm… turns out uk service stations might not be the most reliable source of charging!

After pulling into Cardiff East services on 12% battery, we were in a queue to use 2 (should be 3!) CCS chargers. Luckily, our very dear friend Nicole, a local to South Wales service stations 😉 helped us get to a Tesla dealership, where we had to use her phone (Portuguese App Store Tesla app doesn’t give us the option to charge a non-Tesla!!!!!!) to charge the car.

We’re back to 98% now and back on the road… but with a warning light.

After reading through the Honda e forums, it looks like this warning light is nothing to actually worry about, and can occur after using Tesla superchargers… but naturally, we are a little worried.

Next stop in an hour is Strensham services, where we will try again with Gridserve.

Strensham will be close enough to the midlands that if we need a recovery vehicle, we hope someone will be willing to help us 😂Read more
