Awesome thanksRugby is showing as temporarily unavailable in the app at the moment and there's a comment on the Superchargers app that staff/contractors are on site to switch on the new stalls. It looks hopeful that the extra stalls will go live at some point today.
They look like V4 stalls at the end alreadyMoto Reading Westbound, more progress, V3's going in and the contractor said they're replacing with V4's early next year apparently (sorry not the best picture)View attachment 967310
Interesting. I’ve been to Rugby about 8 times in the last 12 months, usually between 4-6pm and only had to queue once, and that’s when the new chargers were going in and a bunch of them were unavailable.Probably started 12 months ago, I could not get over having to queue for 1 min.

Maybe I am just lucky but never had to queue once at Rugby.Interesting. I’ve been to Rugby about 8 times in the last 12 months, usually between 4-6pm and only had to queue once, and that’s when the new chargers were going in and a bunch of them were unavailable.
Rugby is a victim of its own sucess. Most motorway charging (non Tesla particularly) is woefull so people graduate towards Rugby knowing it has a large bank of reliable changers and hey presto queues. I have not queued but have bypassed because it was showing full. Got home on 4% in the end so worked outInteresting.

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of approaching your home charger with range predictions in the single digitsRugby is a victim of its own sucess.

After being offline yesterday, Rugby is now reported as having 28 stalls total on the Tesla app (up from 12). [Edit: so new stalls have all been commissioned].Rugby is showing as temporarily unavailable in the app at the moment and there's a comment on the Superchargers app that staff/contractors are on site to switch on the new stalls.

Just to confirm having just visited the whole place is live and zero queues today at midday on a busy bank holiday. Gridserve on the other hand was busy and had staff on hand to manage queues. Only issue I could forsee is people blocking the Tesla chargers waiting for a GridserveAnyone got any insight as to when the extra stalls at Moto Rugby go live?
Going down at weekend peak times, and really hoping to not queue or will try and make it to Northampton/MK
Any pictures please?Enabling works have started at Frankley Services by the IDNO undertaking the connection works. Estimated completion is November.
5 x v3 per side
You clearly have never had a TVR with a dodgy fuel gauge.There’s nothing quite like the thrill of approaching your home charger with range predictions in the single digits
Don’t get this excitement in an ICE car!
Over in Taiwan, who are bringing in similar legislation which mandate contactless payments for public chargers, some of the older SuperChargers locations are being fitted with consoles to allow payment types other than an app without replacing all the charging units.Or just accept contactless payments
Does anyone have any further info on Tamworth? There's a large gap in Superchargers on the M42/M1 between Hopwood Park and Mansfield. Tamworth is around halfway on our regular trip between Bristol and Leeds, and would be the perfect place to stop for usIt looks like it’s an similar set up to Blyth services. Both gridserve and Tesla should be installed at same time! Anyone passing could get some pictures and see? Started building works about a month ago!
The Tesla pin is on the MOTO motorway service area, although that’s not a guarantee that it’s going to be there. It’s one of the many service areas across the UK that has been allocated money on the Green Recovery Scheme to reinforce the power supply for EV charging and other things, £1.87m in this case.Does anyone have any further info on Tamworth?

This is epic, thanks for sharing. Really interesting to see it in the UK.Video from EVA England showing that the contactless reader is active on the V4 Supercharger at Tottenham Service Centre
Imo having the perpendicular to car stand is great - if Tesla are planning to open up it means no blocking from etrons or taycans anymore as the cable can easily reach to the other side.This is epic, thanks for sharing. Really interesting to see it in the UK.
I actually made a brief video for anyone who wasn't really aware of the news to find out a bit more about the machines, my thoughts on the design etc
