There used to be a coming soon pin for Rownhams North Services. This was one of the sites due to get a power upgrade as part of the green recovery scheme but was struggling with planning for the power upgrade. I went past the other day and there were now half a dozen Gridserve chargers powered...

I’ve tried to educate somebody about sharing on a V2 before at Newport Pagnell, but they were quite happy on about 60 kW. I gave up as the empty row soon filled up. I’m heading down the M40 to Wembley next Sunday and am planning on a quick pit stop and top up at Hopwood Park to 80%, the first...

Just had an email from Fisker about heavily reduced inventory vehicles with up to £15k off and in the small print it said: Due to the current economic situation of the manufacturer Fisker Group Inc. and the Fisker sales companies in Europe, there is a risk of limited support and limited...

I’ve had the messages for about a week. They started when I was on holiday so I switched notifications off in the app.

Larkhall are 16 x V4 and are in the car park of the Radstone Hotel. I had decent lunch there a week ago and posted a picture of the progress. At the moment the car park doesn’t look like it’s got any vultures with cameras monitoring it, which is always helpful.

Called in earlier and the 14 V3 look pretty complete along with some Applegreen ones but are all fenced off with no activity. I suspect they are waiting for power.

I know somebody whose family has an EV6. Excellent fast charging as long as you can find a 350KwH charger rated at 800v. They have some kind of manufacturer card and get a discount with Ionity, so tend to stick to them where they can when travelling and use OVO Anytime at home as their charger...

Over on another forum, it looks like there are a bunch of V4 Superchargers live at the Asda Express in Uttoxeter. However, they are branded EVPOINT as part of EG Groups plans to put Superchargers in Asda locations.

On the way to Scotland, I called for lunch at the Radstone Hotel near Larkhall just off the M74. Looks quite complete compared to my last visit in November. The 16 V4 chargers were uncovered and there were some people working on the distribution boxes. The white lines need painting, but that...

When it first came in there weren’t too many companies in the lists so you didn’t notice them too much, it’s the slower speeds that were more noticeable at first. Tesla keep adding further companies and those companies are expanding their offerings so there is a lot more to choose from now...

I’ve worked in the utilities industry for almost 30 years, including supporting offices and IT systems for an old DNO for that very same region. The DNOs (and some other utilities such as water), submit plans for the next five years. These get approved by the regulators. It’s not that easy for...

I was at Tesla Manchester Central the other day which looked more advanced than the Preston one. I think there are at least 4 Tesla locations in this DNO’s area that need connecting and should all be at an advanced stage by now. When I got my home charger fitted, I was less than impressed with...

There are quite a lot of deals to be had with Ionity chargers so a lot of people in the know use third party charging cards and apps or manufacturer schemes which make Ionity a lot cheaper to use than the headline price so Ionity can be quite popular amongst some non-Tesla’s drivers. I’m hoping...

The latest iOS version is now 4.29.5, it looks like it was released yesterday. I usually have to manually update the Tesla App, whereas most others update when it’s being charged. I initially had a short test drive on launch day, but went for a longer drive on Friday. I wanted to see what the...

Keele north is back up again.
