Ok don't laugh, stupid question time....
Had my first go at a public charger today but not sure what I did right or wrong.
It was an ecarni and I used the Chademo because I don't have a type 2 cable yet. (Outlander PHEV)
I have a new ecarni card and my letter said to swipe it on the machine, but I didn't see anywhere to swipe it. So I tried swiping it at the screen; not sure anything happened.
Anyway, I selected the Chademo option, plugged it into the car, hit start, and it charged ok. Then I went to hang it back in the holster and it didn't really seem to engage properly; like it could fall out of the machine easily. The other two plugs seemed to have a better hook up in the holster.
Any suggestions on what I did/didn't do right? And also...was it really for free?
Thanks.
