I'd like to plug my car in somewhere in Edinburgh, on Monday. Can anyone lend me a driveway or know of somewhere I could access a 13 or 16A socket?
Cheers
Evan

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the offer. I was hoping for something within easy cycling distance (or short bus ride) of the centre, so that I could leave it charging while we go shopping
12 miles is a bit far, as in that case I can leave the car at Inverkeithing and get the train the rest of the way (about the same distance) as I normally do.
Cheers

Sorry about that.
There's an excellent train service from Kirknewton/North Livingston or South Livingston to Edinburgh, all within shouting distance, and I'm home all day and don't mind giving you a lift both ways if that helps you more.
I'll ask about some friends in Edinburgh to see if they can help you on Monday too.

This is a good illustration of the use the EVNetwork can be put to. If you've not put your names down on it why not register.

Looks like the trip is off anyway for Monday but it'd be really handy to know somewhere central to charge up, so if you hear of anything I'd appreciate it, cheers.
No problem, at least you know you can ask, especially should you ever feel like risking the Almondvale shopping centres 1 mile from here !

I have already battled with the interface of that thing on several previous occasions. It's not surprising there are only two locations in the database for Scotland, one of which is my own. I actually had 3 or 4 to enter, and tried to do so, but for some reason you are only allowed one.
So it's more an illustration of what a pity we don't have a decent usable and accessible list of charge points
Hmmm maybe Nikki can have a word with the owner of the site as I know she has some contact with him. He might even be listening in to this thread!!
There is another way which I'm using but probably best not to mention it at the moment but we are hoping to improve things as soon as we are able to but there's a few hurdles at the moment that need getting over. Stick with us though as you can see the forum is at least one means of communicating with other EVers. How about someone volunteering to co-ordinate a local group or 2 for Scotland or any other regions. We can put you in the regional groups on the main site.
Please feel free to drop the forum moderators a line if you would like to contribute!

Must admit I've found the EV network interface to be hard work as well, so your not alone, pretty sure theres no hope of anyone whos slightly non techy getting there details on there
