No stress here in NI as family all live local 😂

Wait... got stressed when testing my MX-30 at a new V4 SC hub. My card had expired so had to use contactless via my phone. Soon figured out that there is no way to stop the charge. Rang support who said they couldn't stop the charge remotely! 1/2

Tried to force stop using the Mazda App but no joy. Eventually thought of reducing the % that DC charging stops at from 90% to 80% which did the trick as I was at 85%. Lesson learned - ONLY use Tesla app to charge a non-Tesla - never contactless! My 5 min test ended up taking 45 mins! 😂 2/2

I had the same experience first time. Was running around like mad trying to work out how to stop the thing thinking we were gonna be late eventually realised I just had to drop the max charge on the car!

Just a 5 minute wait a Fleet services the day after Boxing Day.

I got held on the M5 for eight hours during a closure on my way home to S Wales. In that time, I had the heating, lights, everything on and only dropped 6% battery. Whereas everybody else was in darkness and fogging up.

I never want to hear “EVs don’t work in traffic jam” from anyone ever again! 😄

Unfortunately didn't get far over Christmas due to work commitments. But I did pick up the new trailer last week so looking forward to testing that later in the month.

We drove from Kent to Scotland and back. No charging issues anywhere and no q's.

I found a supercharger stall that was only giving out 33kW at Hilden, Germany. So I moved it to one of the others. I then saw a Model S pull in and do the same thing, so I knew it wasn't just us and reported the fault.

Other than that, did a 1000 mile round trip with no problem.
