its a funny situation: tesla drivers should stop only using tesla chargers, but equally all other EV drivers need to be aware they can easily use so many tesla chargers. Tesla exclusivity is basically finished, and hopefully that snobbery will be a thing of the past too

quick run through of current CCS rapid ev charging prices for today - note bonnet includes ionity, osprey etc
tesla V4 open to all EV sites: 46p-51p (time dependent)
mfg: 49p-68p (via bonnet, site dependent)
fastned: 69p
gridserve: 79p
instavolt: 85p
shell recharge: 81p-89p

the thing is, if you plan your EV trip and avoid watford gap mcdonalds and gridserve 79p going for Oval EV Point next exit 49p, and get your free Octopus greggs coffee, a doughnut and sausage roll for £2.70, its alot cheaper.
