What's the best app to find public charging points for electric cars?
What apps do I need for a holiday trip around the south coast and West Country with my new e-Golf?

I'd recommend downloading the PlugShare app. It'll tell you where all the chargers are in the area you need, along with details about the companies that operate them and reviews from other users.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
