25 years+ of loyalty to @EE and orange, but customer service during latest iphone13 upgrade a total shambles. No reply to complaints and promised callbacks haven’t happened. Will be voting with my feet and leaving EE asap.

A reader has an interesting issue. He has a caravan and has bought an electric vehicle capable of towing it, But hasn’t yet found a rapid charger at a mway services that can accommodate both car and caravan while charging. Are there any out there, or has this been forgotten?
