What drivers have written

“Location mixup The two 50kw chargers are against the right hand side of the superstore. The high power chargers (180kw) are at the front of the parking lot near the main entrance. You are basically staring at the front of the store while charging. Got 179kw” — Don Adlam, 2 months ago

“Didn't work. Tried multiple times. Another person beside us having the same issue; hers finally started, we gave up after 15 minutes.” — Allyson Stapleton, 3 months ago

“Disappointing that they have taken down the 40 minute sign. There were two delivery trucks park there. One that had been parked for more than 2 hours! And the other for well over an hour.” — Jonathan Kinney, a year ago
