fine but that's a different argument to the 'convenience' point you were making

We’ve dropped a reduced mobility person at the entrance to the services and then parked in the charging bays. Reverse on return. Means we get to stretch our legs, the car gets charged and the reduced mobility person has time to use the facilities unrushed.

I was thinking just this. And the example I gave was one extreme. People seem to think that most Tesla chargers are in places without amenities. My point was (with this one exception) all the ones I use (currently) have perfectly adequate faculties. My next planned trip will take in Gretna where I see the chargers are at an Outlet Mall with a Costa, Starbucks and I"m sure other food and drink places. Like my other examples it's only just off the motorway. £10 extra for the convenience of the motorway services just doesn't make sense for me personally.

Sadly, it's been a long time since mine were even close to perfect or adequate. 😄
