A word if caution: don't expect to charge much above 80% on a high rate charger - charging slows down after that, plus it's often detrimental for the batteries to charge fast when near full.

Chapter 3 of Part 4 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/1/part/4) would seem to be relevant here, in particular 237A:

Dont charge out and about much, as am lucky enough to get free charging at work.
Going off at a tangent, how do HMRC treat that?
im guessing that would depend on whether they know or not
Exactly!

Dont charge out and about much, as am lucky enough to get free charging at work. I will first look at Tesla App for superchargers that are open to all cars and if nothing suitable I use Zapmaps.

Most of the time I've been using ZapMap.
This will hopefully now be augmented by the Tesla app, now I have a car that is (allegedly) compatible with superchargers on those Tesla sites that are open to non-Tesla vehicles.
-
I cannot, but I can offer a word of caution to be careful when using chargers located in private car parks subject to enforcement. We're seeing more and more cases on the private parking forum of folks who've pulled into a private car park to use a charger, then received a parking charge notice for breaching the T&C's of the car park in which the charger is located.
There are various considerations here as to whether some of said charges are enforceable, but in most cases better to avoid receiving one in the first place.

Can members suggest the best app/apps for EV charger location and use.
