Charging a leisure battery at a Tesco Superstore podPOINT

Some time ago, I wrote about charging leisure batteries at EV charging stations. Today, I was charging at the Tesco Superstore in Wick and got a tip from a neighbouring EV car driver: when you disconnect and reconnect your EV charger within 15min, charging is free of charge.

So, I gave it a try – and it worked. I topped up my battery with my CCS Type2 Neutrik adapter and I was not charged a penny!

Why they do this is not totally clear to me. But hey, I am ok with that.

In the video below you see our Toyota “2er” Hiace 1994 retrofitted semi-electrical vehicle being charged at the podPOINT Ralf-Milo:
