Excellent - may get to use this tomorrow. Does it show in the car's navigation yet? If not can anyone assist with how you find/access the Inverness location as I think its in a car park? Do you have to pay for parking while you use it?

Yes I just had a look and this location is already showing on the Nav. It's on the ground floor of the Rose St multi-storey car park but the Nav should be able to get you there.
Apparently (discussion on TOGUK) you don't need to pay for parking provided you report to the parking office. If I understand correctly it is manned until 10 p.m. and after that they will leave the exit barrier up. If you're not staying with the car it would be worth speaking to the staff, I think it will be fine but they don't want people unplugging and using it as free parking for a couple of hours.

Fleet South - All ready for way over a year now !!! but someone is holding to ransom.

Anyone know exactly, who is the landowner holding US / Tesla to ransom ?
.. I heard it was a golf club ?
.. if so I wonder if they have any Tesla owners as members ?
.. we need some 'leverage'

..... asking for a fwend

Apparently Fleet South is being held up by the land owners ... the MOD !!!! So getting leverage may be an 'ask' (unles maybe from the USAF )

Anyone know why Leeds in closed on map? Not the service centre one.

Charged earlier at Fort William. 1/6 in use when we arrived with 9%. Charging peaked at 199kW. I was waiting to take a photo over 200 but it only went down

I was the only car parked up at the Heathrow Hilton superchargers this morning.

It's a bit scary to be honest - not a person about and a bit like a post apocalyptic scene...

Very encouraging news for North Wales, courtesy of proddick who's just reported a new planning application over on SpeakEV, for Erection of a Tesla Electrical Charging Substation at Mountain Park Hotel & Golf Club. This is a short drive from Junction 33 of the A55, near Flint.

Details - My ASP.NET Application

A lot of digging needed to get the power to the substation (green shading in the map):

No sign of activity on site / equipment deliveries (today).

A couple of quick clips from today. Each shows the supercharger in relation to the main road junction (A1, M25). The one for Heathrow shows the recently added 8 x V3, making it 24 stalls now (4 are under cover for the time being, just like they did for the final 4 at Wyboston a couple of weeks ago)

Nothing special, the camera was in the car and I was going that way anyway - may be useful.

Hi all. My 6-monthly request to see if anyone knows anything further about the supposed Ferrybridge Supercharger? I really need it! (I note a Leeds one has opened, but as far as I can tell it's in an industrial estate with no facilities, so not very good for me.

Yes I'd like the ferrybridge supercharger to appear, but so far no groundworks have been commenced as yet. I may fly past tonight to see if there's anything going on.

 

[quavey]

There was nothing at Ferrybridge last week when I looked. Birch also nothing has been started although planning is approved. I checked there yesterday.

Excellent news, both the supercharger opening and that it's free to charge there. This one really opens up the far north, just as Fort William opens up the west highlands and islands.

I did read some that they may move the service centre (and the supercharger location). Maybe this is true. Did you get a glimpse of the supercharger equipment stored in the service centre? (Annex, left hand side to the entrance door)

Afraid not as the gates were up so couldn't go beyond the first car park.

Amesbury pin is on the map now. It’s a dear one for out in the sticks 25p/kWh

25p kw/h yikes!

Makes my failing MCU1 seem a bit more palatable with free charging. If you are really skint then Tesco's has a free charger 0.5 miles away but it is only 6kw super slow.

 

[Spacey73]

Getting loads of ice cars blocking half the superchargers at Amesbury on a regular basis.

They must've done something to those, as when they were at avimore I'm pretty sure they topped out at 120kw! Are the Inverness ones the same I wonder?
