Yes my Zappie charges via the Sun only setting or the Sun/mains setting usually.

No problem ….a Zappie charger is A particular make of car charger that enables you to select either your solar power, a combination of solar and the mains or just the mains power To charge your car😊

I have found a solution which involves using my Zappie Charger and setting it to give a 2 to 3 hour boost during the off peak time...then it reverts to standby charge rate ...this seems to work ok...but you need a Zappie charger

. sorry to hear that your car was written off. Appreciate the heads up about the insurance cover for the battery I have checked to make sure that mine does cover the battery thanks a lot

Thanks for your comments guys It is a little reassuring to know that I am not the only one who has been experiencing problem with pod point. It seems a little bizarre that the Tesco charges might work better in the rain but I'm willing to give it a go If I do find a solution to this problem I will put it on this forum

Hi like some of the contributors below I have also been experiencing problems with charging using the Tesco pod points I have tried all four of the charges at a number of Tesco’s and none of them seem to work anymore with my ZE 40 I have used Geniepoint chargers with my cable, so assume the problem is not with my cable. I also went to the amazing Gridserve Station in Norwich and had a problem with the first 22kw charger like Podpoint, however the Gridserve guys reset the charger and it worked ok second time round. I would be most interested in hearing if anyone has found a solution to this problem
