Last time we checked in I was explaining the trickiness of finding a suitable charging station based on location, charging speed, availability, and working status.

What I forgot to mention then is one other crucial aspect that’s a bit like the old restaurant worry of not knowing if they take Visa, Mastercard or American Express.

It turns out that my local Chargemaster station in East Dulwich, London, for which I have a card, has just switched to Source London – which is the equivalent of my local restaurant turning to American Express when I only have Mastercard (and they don’t accept cash). Wow, this charging game is harder than I thought.
