I had been planning to visit Packwood House, a National Trust property in Warwickshire. Before heading up I checked the National Trust app on my phone and there was no indication that there were EV chargers there, I was pretty sure there was. Had I messed up, confused it with another property. I was convinced that there were chargers there, so I checked the entry on the National Trust website and there on the property page was information about the EV chargers. The app was updated so did make me wonder. The search function on both the app and the website weren’t providing accurate results either.
So, as I drove up the M5 to Packwood House, I did wonder if they would have any chargers there. As I drove into the entrance there was a sign indicating the way to the EV charging. They were close to the reception. These were the same kinds of chargers I have used at other National Trust properties. A simple matter of plugging the cable into the Funky Cat and then using contactless payment to start the charging.
It’s quite slow to charge, but ideal if you are visiting somewhere, you can put your car on charge, enjoy visiting the house and gardens, have a cup of tea, and when you get back to the car there is charge on the car.
