    Anyone using the Glow Stick/Bright app combo?

    I've got the Glow Stick and I've found that the stick, for some reason, picks up all the electricity history including standing charges for the month but not for gas. It simply picks up the gas standing charge and only the latest readings since the sticks activation. Not sure how it does this as...

    Location unveiled for EU Gigafactory

    I agree with Jeremy and the others here, the UK was never realistically a good choice to build a gigafactory and Germany was always a clear choice for multiple reasons, including where the hell would you put such a massive factory! The R&D centre however, may have made sense with the high...

    Charging at Scotland's FIRST Ultra charger

    I thought the M3 charging speed were as follows: M3 Standard+: 100kW DC M3 AWD LR: 150kW DC M3 Performance: 250kW DC Have I got that wrong?

    Polar 150kw Rapid Chargers

    There’s 4 Instavolt chargers all ready to go at Fox Valley just down the road from the Tankersley superchargers. Still not online yet though.

    75Kwh battery pack being dropped from Model S/X. Refresh coming?

    Hi guys, I read an article yesterday on Electrek hat said Tesla is dropping the 75Kwh battery pack from the Model S/X next week which will significantly push up the base price for both models. Now, is this to further separate the S/X from the Model 3 or is this potentially due to the S/X...

    Meadowhall Superchargers

    That's interesting news, both for Fox Valley and Meadowhall, although they'll have to go some to beat Milton Keynes for this, they have loads of chargers!. Makes sense really as Meadowhall is pretty easy to get to just off the motorway and frankly, the 2 at Tankersley should be replaced really...

    Thats good to hear! And yeah a footpath is definitely a good idea as that isn't a route I'd like to walk! Newport Pagnall southbound sounds like it could do with something similar too, judging by some of the google map comments I've seen. Apparently having to cross the M1 exit slip road to the...

    Swung by Woodall services yesterday, there's no sign of anything in the area proposed for the SC. Not that I'd expect there to be yet but thought there might be some signs of prep work. It's a big area to clear, a few nice trees they'll have to clear too. Would be nice to leave for shade in the...

    Yeah I understand that, I know there must be a reason but to me, it doesn’t make sense. It’s why you don’t see the petrol station at the hotel! Oh well.

    Nice article:it’s about the cars, not Elon Musk.

    Really enjoyed reading that. Pretty honest too by the sounds of things.

    32! They only have 8 the other side! I'll take a look when driving back that way Sunday and see what's going on. Wonder if they plan extending the southbound side? Also Scotch corner is now on Zap Map, although I don't understand why they've been put at the hotel instead of the services. Makes...

    I've noticed some of Brighouse are online now at ZapMap. Anyone confirmed visually?

    250kW Superchargers vs 350/400kW fast chargers

    I'l I agree @WannabeOwner. l'd be interested to see once the M3 production is under control whether they will look at the battery technology for the MS/X. Personally, i'd like to see some more options back other than 75kW and 100kW unless the packs can go further on the same charge. I don't...

    250kW Superchargers vs 350/400kW fast chargers

    I know the higher voltage alleviates the heat issue to some degree but didn't know the Mission E had such a high voltage pack! Don't think there is anything currently that high on the market, I think even the new I-Pace is a 450v pack.

    250kW Superchargers vs 350/400kW fast chargers

    Well this is what I'm struggling to get my head around. Pumping that much juice down a cable into a battery is going to generate a hell of a lot of heat at 350kW and Elon has already said there's no plan to increase the MS/X packs bigger than 100kWh so I can't see the benefit. I know the Tesla...

    250kW Superchargers vs 350/400kW fast chargers

    Evening all, I see Ecotricity have announced they will be rolling out their own 350kw fast chargers on the electric highway as of next spring. Wonder when/if Tesla will be enable charging at those speeds. I know they have mentioned rolling out superchargers rated that high but no EV's to date...

    At least the country's starting to flesh out a bit now with the SC's although the east coast is still looking rather blank. Hull would have been a good edition or Scarborough.

    Hi all, been reading the forum for a while but this is my first official post. Has anyone noticed some more grey supercharger locations on the UK map today, I swear they weren't there yesterday. 3 that seem to stick out to me are Aberystwyth, Crossgates and Fort William?
