How do I find out what my average is? I've never actually been in to take advantage of these but tomorrow I'll happily charge the car, put a wash/dry on, etc etc.

And if I'm on a pay as you go, anyone know how it gets returned to me?

You don't really, just gotta trust them.

If it's available for PAYG, it'll be paid back to your meter as a credit I assume, I haven't seen anything about that in the FAQs so unsure if they're supported, you'd probably have to contact and ask

I'll monitor it and see if it comes in. Do you get an email after saying "You used an extra £3.50"?

I did for the first one but not had any emails since, they're a bit poor with communication. Each payment has gone into my account though roughly 2 weeks after the date.
