Every time I use the chargers in Exeter…

Every time I use the chargers in Exeter or Topsham they either say my EV has cancelled the charge or stop after half an hour or so.

This time Wen took 2x£50 from me (as I couldn't get the app to work so needed to use my card) and took me over my overdraft limit.
I am not using the chargers any more which is really disappointing as I don't have a charge point at home so always charge on my way to and from work.

Wenea are loosing about £20 a week as I am not using them.

Rubbish

Rubbish. Refuse to use these anymore. Take your money then car don't charge. 3 attempts later 180 pound into pending. Which then took 6 days to right itself in my bank and still had to phone customer service to start and finish charge. Won't use again.

Wenea charging point around the corner

It was great when we had the Wenea charging point installed right around the corner of my house! I don’t have to drive miles to charge my car anymore. I have had issues but their customer service line promptly solved it and was very helpful! Keep growing in the UK!

Disappointed

Tonight at midnight I found myself trying to change my car at a Wenea charger.
I downloaded the app and followed instructions, but the app would not accept my payment method and the contactless payment touchscreen would not register my card).
I’m now home and have tried again to add my payment details and the app just stalls.
I tried calling the support line and there was not even a ringing tone.
Please Wenea - ensure that the contactless pads are working and make the app more user friendly.

Good morning, we apologize for the delay in our response. In order to use our app with all the new features, you must have iOS 16.0 or later, as earlier versions do not support the new capabilities, as recommended by Apple. If you wish, you can contact us at customer@wenea.com or call us at 915 06 06 00, and we can analyze your case more thoroughly. Best regards.

Wenea Fast Chargers

The Spanish (EU) company Wenea, has decided not to omit Chademo cables for charging electric cars. Chademo is used in Mitsubishi and Nissan Leaf Cars. Thus, in Devon where Wenea are installed, one cannot fast charge your electric car (despite the design being better than CCS). Also the car workers in Sunderland will loose their jobs. It is a very selfish policy and a warning to anyone thinking of buying an electric car; watch what will happen if the company / EU don't like your car.

Garbage

Garbage. My bank flags up these guys as a scam repeatedly and block my charging.

Also, the cost to charge is nearly double most other providers.

Why can't you provide a simple tap and charge service like gridserve?

The app has logged me out

The app has logged me out (despite ticking the box to stay logged-in), says the password saved on my phone is invalid and doesn't accept the new one after a password reset either. I'm unable to use the app at all, so cannot charge. Additionally, the charging costs are expensive.
