I'm glad this is finally in the public domain...

"Later this year we expect to install the first of a new breed of very fast chargers – from flat to full in 20 minutes"

Ecotricity are installing both 43kW 3 Phase AC and 50kW CHAdeMO DC this year... anyone at Tesla listening to what's happening in Europe?

There will be a battle going on between free & not free charging!

Membercard or not

A battle for customers is going on, and ev-users will benefit!

As a business owner I am all for allowing my clients and employees to charge for free. Those that are not clients or employees should pay a nominal amount for the parking, use of the EVSE, and electrons used.

I agree.
But for a restaurant or hotel offering free charging can be a way of marketing and getting clients.

Absolutely... the UK is really waking up to this and I have no doubt that we will have massive Charging Station deployment at Hotels within a few years.
