I noticed a photo on the TOUK Facebook page showing 3 charger cabinets and at least 11 (possibly 12) charger stall bases now in place at Milton Keynes Service Centre. Planning permission drawings showed 8 stalls and that was the assumption when TOUK tweeted about construction starting at the...

Anyone know if the construction activity on the southbound side is confirmed to be additional supercharger stalls?

I should add that Ferndown golf club is also reportedly getting a supercharger, again I haven't come across any physical evidence of an install there either (also referenced in @jordan2907 's post).

Bournemouth is likely the Tesla showroom: @jordan2907 reported the road being dug up for an upgraded power connection at the end of March. According to the SpeakEV "First Tesla v4 Superchargers in UK" thread, 4 charger stalls and a power cabinet are on site but I haven't come across any photo...

I passed through Sarn Park at the end of March and there was some groundworks going on behind the charger stalls but to my uninformed eye it seemed to be for laying cabling/services for something unconnected with the supercharger stalls, so could be a false alarm. Things might have changed since...

Just did a search on the TOUK FB group - the 8 southbound stalls are V3 (a 9th April post includes a photo of an uncovered tombstone in the process of being unpacked). There is speculation that the two extra charge cabinets may be for the northbound side.

I went and had a look at the TOUK Facebook discussion from the time and it looks like TOUK also realised Treliske was probably crossed wires. I suspect the original source of their tweet was this thread. It's like when Wikipedia articles start citing references that circle back to Wikipedia...

Ah - I remember now about Treliske: there's also a Fiat dealership opposite the new Exeter SC and I reckon the photos in @CMc1 's post from August last year were actually of the Exeter SC supercharger stall foundations which would have been under construction at that time.

I'm pretty certain Treliske was confused with Fraddon when construction started at the latter, I haven't come across any firm evidence of planning or a viable site at Treliske. Is Warrington referring to Welcome Break Burtonwood?

Plus all 2-bay sites, starting with Brent Cross and Warrington? Tesla drivers have had it too good for too long...

Oops my mistake - I mixed up the missing pin, I should have quoted Oxford - Redbridge which you correctly picked up on - that isn't showing in my screengrab. It's a bit of a nightmare to keep track of! The FindUs map has always been a bit glitchy but I don't see any pins near Oxford on the app...

The FindUs map isn't infallible, but Derby clearly wasn't marked in the screengrab I took on 15th March (post #1,361) . I checked back as far as 2nd March last year and it wasn't showing then. In the past I've occasionally cross-checked against the app and didn't notice Derby showing up either...

There's been some excellent work by @Sean. on the UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News thread (see post #7,411 onwards), tracking the opening up of a big batch of sites in the last few days. I thought I'd post an updated map in this thread as a reference for tracking the development of the...

I just had a look at Tesla's FindUs map and noticed that a few more of the coming soon target dates have recently been switched from specific quarters to just "2024": Bridport (was Q1 2024) Cannock (was Q2 2024) Godstone (was Q1 2024) Swindon (was Q1 2024) That leave five overdue markers at...

I recently had a similar experience at Larkhall (previously "Hamilton") - both in terms of the grounds and the restaurant/bar areas. Theoretically open to non-Tesla (but hard to find, I'd imagine, until it's fully published on Tesla's app etc. as pointed out by @Sean. and others) but just me and...

I just realised that the expanded Hopwood is now the largest UK supercharger by number of stalls: 16 V2 + 20 V3 = 36 total. Exeter (32 V3) and Rugby (28 V3) have more V3 stalls and therefore presumably a higher maximum power output / greater overall charging capacity.

Yes, it looks to me like the ?12 stalls will use up some some parking bays in the existing parking area (see pin position on supercharge.info) whereas the old application was for 32 stalls located in a currently grassed area that would have required new hardstanding. Reference post from 2020...

As far as I know everything was completed last Friday: the existing 16 V2 stalls remain, with an additional 20 V3 alongside. See post #7,175, Tesla's map (and app), and wikipost #1 at the start of this thread. As an aside I'm hoping the same thing happens at Gretna soon. It would be great to...

Three more V4 sites have opened since Bromley: Kettering, Ipswich and Frankley Southbound. All are open to non-Tesla's (Ipswich was initially Tesla only but after about a month or so it appeared on the Tesla app and website). UK open-to-all total now 38 (out of 133). So far this year there...

Link to Tweet below with photo for reference. No confirmation of number or type of stalls yet, other Welcome Break site expansions have added V3 stalls and kept them Tesla only. At Gretna the V2's have been replaced with V3's but at Birchanger Green the V2's were retained with the new V3's...

A couple of weeks ago there were some photos of Tesla equipment (looked like two charger cabinets and foundations for 8 stalls) at the Gloucester Southbound services as well - no groundworks visible but an area of the car park was fenced off which I reckon is at approx (51.818800, -2.224400). I...

For avoidance of doubt I should add that the charge cable was plugged into the charge port, not the number plate 😂

Allegedly is the operative word. I noticed the photos posted on the TOUK FB group did a good job of showing off a Model 3 with some custom body kit and an, ahem, illegally spaced, number plate plugged into a charger, but the tombstones weren't obviously lit and no picture of the dash showing a...

Below is my analysis of the recent changes in Tesla's UK Find Us markers (https://www.tesla.com/findus). There are some clear errors, for example Guildford and Washington N still have out of date 2023 target opening dates and Medway (Q4 2024) is already open. Excluding Medway there are six new...

It's been over a year since the UK "coming soon" markers were last updated and I for one have been looking forward to Tesla's map marker horoscope predictions! Many of the markers over the last year have turned into real sites so it's not all speculation - for me trying to guess which are more...

Repeating a comment on a FB forum: guy repairing Eurocentral chargers at the end of last week "reckons Gretna hopefully switched on later next week all being well". For most modern "news" sites that's a good enough to lead to run the "ELON MUSK CHARGER EXPANSION TO CAUSE BLACKOUTS ON SCOTTISH...

I think this is the first UK supercharger to have two sets of stalls in quite separate areas. For now the Tesla app and their FindUs map pinpoint the V2 stalls next to the Days Inn but the V3 ones are about 250 m away in the main car park. I agree it's nice that the V2 stalls have been retained...

Planning docs for a new service centre east of St. Albans have been reported on TOUK, including 12 supercharger bays. Tesla have a coming soon map marker, original target Q1 2024, although evidently in reality it will be a bit later than that before everything is built. St Albans Council Ref...

There’s an older application, 22/00430/FULLS for 12 supercharger stalls plus 12 Gridserve rapids, but this isn’t referenced in the new planning application. The older plan is an amendment to one which is nearly 3 yrs old so not sure if it will go ahead (some groundworks were reported a while...

I would just caution that as it's only 6 stalls and open to non-Tesla's it doesn't take much to fill up. I used it a couple of times in spring last year, on the second occasion only 5 of the 6 bays were usable due to a non-Tesla user with a charge port on the "wrong" side. While I was there a...

A note for the Mod(s): posts #6 onwards are not specific to Flint and I think would sit better in this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-open-up-the-suc-network-in-uk.232213/

A bit more (second-hand) info: Abington - no upgrade/expansion activity as of Monday this week. My app is showing 2 of the 6 stalls are out of order. It was closed for a few weeks in November/December with a message on the Nav raising hopes that some sort of upgrade is planned, but no tangible...

And open to all (as would be expected).

Great to see this happened. Planning was submitted the end of 2019 but I had assumed it expired without ground being broken. Just checked on TOUK and see that these are V4.

Re: Birch, on the Superchargers app, someone added a comment this week for Birch Eastbound that the due date is now "spring 2025". No idea what the source or reliability of this statement is though. A previous comment said "spring 2024" which seemed more likely given that the stalls were built...

It looks like both Medway Eastbound and Westbound are in the process of being commissioned. The markers on Tesla's Find Us map have already been updated and a successful charge eastbound has been reported on TOUK (8 of 12 stalls live, 4 still under covers). Medway Eastbound Medway Westbound...

Sadly all V4's are open to all in the UK, without exception. Currently Moto Reading (westbound) is the only example so far where Tesla are opposite other, more expensive, 3rd party rapids. Some of the other expansions still have V3's going in but as @Epico notes the Frankley stalls pictured are V4.

Construction at Moto Frankley Services, M5 Southbound, has reportedly commenced. This corresponds to one of Tesla's "coming soon" map markers. (A TOUK post alerted me to this Tweet from Tesla in the UK)

I wonder if the 4 old V2 stalls will eventually be replaced with V3 ones: four charger cabinets is enough to support 16 V3 stalls.

Ah that makes more sense: all V4's (eight total at time of writing), unsurprisingly, are therefore open to non-Tesla's.

Planning reference: Swale Borough Council 23/505424/FULL, submitted 28-Nov-23. Approx. location coordinates: 51.305500, 0.902200 (in Macknade's car park). Tesla previously had a "coming soon" map marker here which was removed last February. At the same time a new one appeared at Rainham, which...

The recently-opened V4 supercharger at Bromley is now showing as open to non-Tesla's on the Find Us map and app. At time of writing I think all UK V4's are open to all with the exception of Pease Pottage. My tally is now 35 UK sites open to non-Tesla's.

Thanks for the update! I've popped a note on the supercharge.info forum so it may get a "permit" marker in due course.

Nice! This one probably didn't need any planning permission. I had a look back at the TOUK Facebook group and delivery of stall bases was reported back in October; there are a couple of recent posts showing successful charges. Stalls are V4 so the expectation is this will be open to non-Teslas...

Inverness East. A poster on the TOUK Scottish Facebook group reported last week that a Tesla sales/test drive pod at Simpsons Garden Centre, Culloden Rd, Inverness, is being installed (a bit like the one that was/is at Exeter Darts Farm). There is a grey "coming soon" supercharger marker in this...

It's a lottery but known sites that appear to have all groundworks completed are Fraddon, Ipswich, Old Trafford & Sheffield. So I'll put a chip on Fraddon. Some of the others may also be fully constructed by now. I guess getting the power supply is the critical step. Thetford has additional...

For info, I've reset the table in the wiki post at the start of this thread for 2024. The list and reference links for UK superchargers opened in 2023 is available in a separate review post (there are also ones for 2021 and 2022 - links are near the top of the wiki post). UK and Ireland...

Below is a listing of superchargers opened, expanded or closed in 2023, originally posted in the UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News wiki. Scroll down for tables of sites opened/expanded/closed in the UK, and to the end for Ireland. 2023 Summary Statistics The following totals should tally...

It's appeared on the app and Tesla's Find Us map, so looks like a certainty.
