There does not appear to be many free car charging points for ones electric car, however, I have noticed Ikea do offer free car charging if it helps anyone.

Most car chargers in UK are free anyway but the more the better. The IKEA chargers are also part of the Ecotricty network which also has its point at motorway services. They're all free to use as well.
You usually have to pay for a card though most network allow free access if you use free mobile app. Ecotricity is completely free - both card and charging.
CYC charges 20 for a card, pod point is 15, source London is a fiver.
I mostly use Ecotricty and CYC so pay 20/year for the card. I think I only paid once for the actual charging. FYI been driving EV for 2 years

I just don't understand why aren't there chademo rapid chargers in central London where 80% of residents for not have access to off street parking to order a home charge. heck if running an extension cable on the pavement I'd do so from my flat to the car.

Got to love these environmentally friendly cars.
Most of these are coming from government grants, two tax payer funded pieces of help for the electric car industry.

Well you really need t be more knowledgeable about the oil & petroleum industry & what that costs to maintain via tax payers money, ..that'll scare you! ..then look at the cost of "oil wars" in the middle ast, ably assisted by butt licking consecutive uk government, ..think they must have fellated U.S. presidents far more often than Bill Clinton got it from his intern! :disappointed:

You just need to sign up for a free card at Ecotricity's website
