    Domestic EV charging stations

    Charging part of an hourly rate?

    I realised that I was being too kind (or stupid) and not charging customers any extra when I went a little over and into the next hour, and I am now charging them half of the next hour's labour charge if I go over 10 minutes into the next hour but work for less than 30 minutes. I am curious if...

    EV Charging Points - how much can you claim from the government?
