I’ve noticed locally that Tesla has installed several rapid chargers in a car park where there are other rapid chargers - out of 6 “Superchargers” installed by Tesla 2 are for other makes / plugs and (In Scotland) I don’t need to use my chargepoint rfid card to start the charging as well as it be free to use. There is a difference of the charger post styles for Teslas too - Tesla only points have a red notice on the post but those for any other PHEV/BEV are black but otherwise the same.

There are several apps in the AppStores for charging points - Zapp Map’s app is good and there is also the PlugShare App. I’m not sure how good their European coverage is as I don’t have either the car or a fast enough data connection where I am in Italy to download the area maps to see how good the info is on them. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I shouldn’t say this but the system in my £40k Mini has both charging points and fuel stations and they get updated over the Mobile data network at frequent intervals automatically..... i found it was also giving some very strange routes when using the routing and I queried that with the dealers....... “ah, sir...... that is because the car defaults to electric mode and will route you along the optimal route for regenerative braking power generating, the system has road gradients programmed in so you avoid hill climbs and take down slopes!” Clever folks these German satnav map programmers. I’m sure a PHEV costing double what mine did will have something similar programmed in but having been a Land Rover owner most of my driving life it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the P400E vehicles didn’t have those databases 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I’ve checked both the apps now I am in 4g cover in Marseilles - Zapp-Map only shows UK chargers but PlugShare App shows masses and masses of chargers in France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy

Both apps are free on the AppStore

Just a small section of the PlugShare map of France and Switzerland - tappingbon each map pin brings up data about location, types of plug/sockets available and charging rate as well,as the network that owns it.
