That'll be a good addition and save me stopping at the god forsaken Hartshead Moor Eastbound services on my regular trips from Dublin to Leeds. The Leeds SuC location is good but its a pain being right on the outskirts of the city which can be a nightmare at busy times.

I don't mind contactless but I'd still prefer "plug and charge" to have central billing through my manufacturer. Mainly because getting receipts for expenses with contactless isn't ideal.

AC charging of scale like this is what is needed into the future, looks awesome! Now if we can just make a single payment network so any car can plug in and charge like we've all lived with at SuC's for years it would be great :P

Yes, I've left my wife in the car a few times where she has locked the car from the car's UI and when I tried to open the door it didn't open even though my phone was in my pocket and definitely in-range.

MYLR with the induction wheels after a clean and dry. PPF and Ceramic definitely gives it a darker gloss than those I've seen on the road.

I have the same part from DAJ on mine and stopped in on my way home from Dublin at christmas, its 100% worth every penny!

Can you take a picture of the rear? I got some similar ones from somewhere last year and the back fitted terribly around the cutouts for the seat rails and made me bin the whole set :P

Judging from the spy pictures seen in The Netherlands the V4/V3+? use the same cabinets or at least the specs seem to match and instead are just new tombstones.

I'm hoping they are easy enough to retrofit to existing "open to all" sites in the UK and are a prerequisite to any other new site openings.

With the size/weight behind both Tesla and GS you would think that WB would be more careful with their tactics (if they are being less than "friendly") as it wouldn't take much petitioning to get some light shone on WB and being anti-competitive/monopolistic.

Strange that the UMC was working but other AC chargers weren't, I wonder what is different there that it wasn't an issue. The UMC should be standard charger in the same way the PodPoint etc ones are 🤷

Back when prices changes very infrequently it was ok but nowadays with the rapid updates it would be nice if we could see the live prices even if just from the app.

I've had the same on order in Ireland now for a couple of months and things keep getting pushed back due to parts availability. Happy that it seems like it should help with some of the cabin noise once it (eventually) is fitted!

Brilliant news finally! Now hopefully they can continue and get some decent coverage in Devon/Cornwall as I really noticed a lack of any decent charging when I was in South Devon (Torbay) over the Summer.

This in itself is a rediculous notion, why couldn't someone from Ireland drive their non-Tesla into the UK or onto the continent and use the SuC just because the network isn't open at "home". I'm guessing its some tax or regulatory reason but still seems like a pathetic limitation.
