South East London Podpoint and Instavolt are handy as they have chargers at supermarkets, car parks and shopping centres. No need for a card. Just get the apps and register.
Pay to play so no upfront payment and all started by apps. Presuming the Shell New Motion are on the Porsche app but you can get a Shell EV separate card for that.

Many are tap and go with phone or payment card with no subscription but a slightly higher charge per kWh.

Download ZapMap to see who provides what where you typically travel and then figure from there.

Note charging at Ionity is cheaper than at Porsche as they additionally charge you for time spent too. Neither is free but subsidised in reality.

Many a energy tariff bundles in a subscription - I am on Ovo and we get free Pulse sub as part of that.

Thanks. So roughly what is the all in charge when you add in the time charge, appreciate it depends of battery state at soc and end %charge and temperature. Or to put it another way roughly how long to add 1kwh?

I dinnae ken other than it would be a lot cheaper at Ionity for the same speed of charge. You pay a premium for the 'potential of a rapid charge but in reality it rarely is given all the factors to consider.

I don't know of any other provider that charges you for time as well as energy. Shame on Porsche.

Non are free unless you go to Scotland and use council chargers. Porsche will never do a thing for free you have to pay for everything from auto dimming mirrors to having a tyre fix kit. Certainly not enough high powered charges in the North that’s for sure which is slowly starting to put me of EV

Yep, it was only what subscriptions does Porsche give you other than Ionity and I think the answer is none?

Agreed their prices for everything are high. Mode 3 charging cable at £370 compared to buying online for around £130.for example

I believe the cable is free now.

Service covers more than Ionity - Osprey, ESB others. The only way to know is to use the Porsche Charging App which will list any and all that are contracted to Porsche. When you select one your Porsche Connect ID is authenticated and if you have a valid account then you can use.
