It's worth reading up on Plug and Charge. I can't remember them, but there are quite a few problems, which may explain why it hasn't happened.

A bit of an aside, but I discovered a major downside to BP's new superhub at the NEC. Despite many visitors not needing to pay for parking, there is no escaping the fee for those wanting to slow charge. Oddly enough on Monday which was a setup day, the chargers were completely empty.

It's a good point to raise the issue of start up times. I've recently needed to deviate from my goto of MFG, and it hasn't been pretty. Both Gridserve and BPs new chargers have been a nightmare.

Another point is how they cope if they fail mid charge, to which the answer in Gridserve's case, is badly.
