Lidl is now pre authorising your card £40 for using their EV, if not used then it will be refunded within 48 hours... well that then end of Lidl for me. Seriously this only happens at Sainsbury's and is the reason I've not been back to them since either.

I expect the below to fall on deaf ears, however someone wants to keep the below when you see your market move to Aldi as we move forward in an EV world.
I used to use Lidl and charge my car, however recently the local Lidl has transitioned to Lidl Plus to charge your car. I have no problem with supermarkets transitioning EV charging in house. However it came as quite a shock that my card is pre authorized at £40, even before I even went into the store use it.  
PLEASE think about this for one minute, I shop at Lidl as it's far cheaper than Tesco, Sainsbury's etc... however on a par with Aldi. Whoever the Director or senior manager responsible for this stupid policy needs serious talking to. I generally spend around £50 - £60 when I come to Lidl, and it takes around 30 - 40 mins... I then charge my car, for 40 mins I'll get 15kw, approx £10. So here is the PROBLEM: I'm pre authorised £40, and I want to spend £60 in the shop, I know I have to have £100 in my account, now for a senior manager/ director this is pocket change. However for the majority of your customers is not, as such you leave me no option but to go and shop are your rival ALDI.
As I say, anyone with an ounce of sense would foresee this, and as we move more towards an EV world, Lild will wonder why their footfall begins to stagnate or fall, and their EV's are not getting used as much.
Please make sure this does go up the line, and not just seen by low level management who will simply ignore it.
I'm going to pop this on a trust pilot review so when footfall falls it's at least seen, and others don't get caught out in the same way.
