Used the charge planner yesterday to include a stop at Ionity Cobham.
Watched the planner/nav during the journey and could see 1/6, 2/6 and 3/6 in use.
Arrived at Cobham services with 2/6 showing in use.
In fact, all 6 were in use despite the planner/nav remaining at 2/6.
Waited for 20 minutes before one became free, which was massively frustrating.
Is this experience normal, can you not rely on the planner/nav EVSE information?
The other frustrating thing, another EV turned up and was actively scanning all 6 stations which made me realise the lack of a queuing system!
On the plus side, when I plugged in, ‘plug and play’ worked seamlessly and I saw 253kw almost immediately (before leaving to use the services).
