We're going to see the parents up in Aberdeen this year, were thinking of using the Etron credit but not sure how many compatible chargers are up north?
To be honest with you, if your heading up north for a short period of time, save yourself a tenner and charge at Tesco with the pod point app. They have 50kw chargers at superstores you pay and most have 22kw or 7 kw for free for 3 hours. ( car will only charge at 11kw max on the 22 kw charger equating to 35 miles an hour).

I’m planning a few days near Edinburgh in August and have noticed on Zap Map that many public chargers restrict you to 45 mins.

I live near Edinburgh and have been up to Inverness in my Q4. I used Ionity in Perth with my E-torn card and it was great (video here: The CPS card is handy but you *should* be able to start and end a charge using the app or by calling them if needed. Different local authorities have different timings/rules. Edinburgh has free charging with no time limits on the council run chargers, Stirling is the same. It’s maybe worth checking ahead. There are a couple of ultra rapid chargers showing on the MyAudi app in Aberdeen-looks like they may be at dealerships but presumably the E-torn card will work on them?
