My wife has a Polestar - would happily have it as my daily driver if I didn’t have the Taycan. Can’t match it, clearly, as a driving machine but good enough for 85% of journeys.

With a name like Colin The Bandit you don’t work for Porsche do you :-) This point has been raised numerous times over the last few years - I challenged an OPC on this 2 years ago and they basically told me I was lying about the “service fee”. Until I showed them a recent invoice I had got…...

I changed from Boom to Admiral 2 weeks ago as the former would no longer offer me insurance - mine's a business lease via a Ltd Co (so not LO or RK), I'm 59 with full NCB, no points (how ??), low crime area and I got it for £980.

Thought so - if you want to move a dialogue offline, let me know and I can give you my mobile/email. As I was driving away from Theale, I realised that I should have given you a contact for me as a 2 year Taycan veteran, I could maybe help with your initiation ..........

Given OPC Theale is next to IKEA that is more than enough reason to charge up and go as quickly as you can :-)

Mike - were you the gentleman I was talking to at OPC Theale a couple of weeks ago ?

Only charge at OPC's if you can't charge at home or no Ionity station that you can use. I have just had my Sept charging bill from OPC (just once at Theale) - 0.2584p for Energy and 0.3667p for "service". When I have challenged Porsche about this, their only "defence" is to try and stop people...

I have just had this quote from Sheffield OPC - The first service is a fixed price of £475 and this includes the brake fluid change.

I’m not even on it as busy getting the drinks made ……

Clearly my photo was a few years ago as we aren’t allowed Polish workers any more post-Brexit ………

Too true ....

Do we know when the Leicester one will open as that will be very helpful when driving up the M1 ?

Not sure if cheesy, cool or just downright illegal ............... on a road in London a few months ago.

To answer those questions - P&C simply recognises my 4S without needing to do anything else. I use the RFID occasionally if needing to charge my wife’s Polestar - it works absolutely fine. Just remember though that the rate isn’t that favourable since OPC charge you for time spent at the...

Agree on Emovis tag and plan your pit stops around Ionity chargers - quick and best value for money.

Thanks - will try both of these options.

This has probably be covered already, but as I am not getting any help from my OPC I thought that I would try fellow TinCan'ers. My profile at home is set to a preferred time of 0000-0700 and my Podpoint to exactly the same - however, as soon as I plug the charger in it starts charging (Direct...

Just to update my post of 10th March - my 4S went into my local OPC on 16th March for the new heater to be installed and the car was delivered back to me yesterday. So all in all only 2.5 weeks (and I was on holiday for 12 days of this and so my hire car was sat in a car park at Heathrow).

My experience (incl a 2,700 mile Euro road trip) is that Ionity are the best EV chargers to use when not charging at home - quick, reliable and cheap. Please don’t get me started on how an OPC can get away with charging you twice as much and why their chargers aren’t accessible out of hours !!!

My 4S went into my local OPC (Sheffield) 10 days ago - just been told the new heating part has arrived and should be ready by Fri. So I guess I’m lucky in only driving the Merc diesel taxi hire car (1st world problem I know) for 2 weeks. Just hope that no subsequent problems arise ….. My wife...
