I'm surprised to see there's a "Pod point" [whatever that is] charger
at the Sainsbury's, because I've never noticed it. I'll go take a
proper look tomorrow.


Eventually; and the electric supply has been there a while, no evidence
of having been retro-plumbed-in after the shop was first opened seven
years ago. But don't know when it was provisioned with a charger.

2x7kW, and a second but unprovisioned pair of parking bays alongside.

A Renault Zoe plugged in, 7kW is an eight-hour charge, apparently. I'm
not sure I can drag out my shopping there much beyond half an hour.


You haven’t allowed for when the self operated checkouts are broken and the
remaining employee operated one has Mrs Slow working.


Plus there are a dozen trolleys piled high in front of you, and all you
have is a pint of milk.
