If they’re positioned at the side, it is much easier for any car with a side-mounted charge port to access the cable, either by reversing in or going in forwards. The only case where it might be more difficult is for those with a front-mounted charge port.

What problems ?

They’re outside

V4s ?

V4s ?

I think it’s the latter.

I thought she had retired.

So Which is going to be the first site to open in 2024 ?

Apparently now live - that was quick.

If you compare the 4WD BYD Seal (£48695) with a similar spec Model 3 LR (£52790), it looks like a much better deal.

If the entire Tesla network was opened up, the other CPOs would be forced to compete.

There’s a new 12 charger InstaVolt hub in Bodmin and also a 12 charger Ionity site under construction. There will also be another 8 V4s at Penhale.

If Tesla have decided to open certain sites up to all EVs, then everyone has equal priority. The majority of Superchargers in the UK are exclusively for Teslas, I suggest you stick to those if you object to queuing with muggles.

If it’s the same as other V4 sites, it won’t appear on the App for a few days, but will work using a contactless bank card.

I have just been informed by the developer of the App “Superchargers for Tesla” that there will be “support for V4 superchargers” in the next update.

Is there any way of getting Tesla or supercharge.info to identify V4 sites for the benefit of non-Tesla users with different charge port locations ?

Are they still making V3 pedestals ?

It would reach if he drove in forwards

Well done - To be honest, I’m surprised Tesla didn’t just ignore the claim and subsequent judgement, as they seem to have done with chargegate and rangegate.

Generally there are more than 3 stalls in a row. It is only a problem if the rightmost bay is occupied by someone using the “wrong” charger AND it is not possible to park on the other side of the rightmost charger.

It only reduces the number of available stalls If the rightmost bay is used and there is no possibility of parking on the other side of the charger, otherwise a Tesla could drive in forwards and use the “wrong” side on the V4s.

Does it matter ? Is there a “right” and “wrong” side if it’s open to all ?

No, you don’t have to tell Tesla what car you have. Yes, probably they can tell what car is connected. Why would you want to stop a DPD van charging as opposed to any other car/van ?

I think that layout makes it more likely that people will have to “steal” cables from the “wrong” side - as you put it.

Isn’t the point of V4 chargers is that they’re open to everyone, and therefore should be positioned accordingly ?

Interesting stall layout

I wonder if they will start retrofitting V3 sites that are open to non-Teslas ?

So Why do I see numerous photos of MG4s charging at superchargers ?

Post in thread 'Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]' Tesla open up the SuC network [in UK]

I was there on Saturday (14th), all the stalls have “coming soon” covers on.

Worked for me (Nissan Ariya)

To stop the charging session, push the button on the CCS plug. Controversial opinion - If they’re open to non-Teslas - Is there a “right” and “wrong” side ?

Showing in the App now, including the V3s

Must be false then

Apparently, non-Teslas have used them using contactless bank cards. It will be interesting to see if the existing V3 chargers will be open to non-Teslas.

It was the same with Reading Westbound Services. It took a few days to appear in the App, but you could use a contactless bank card.

Don’t these calculations break down now that some sites are open to all EVs ?

On the App now

Open to non-Teslas and cheaper than the Gridserve ones opposite.

It doesn’t really matter unless it’s very busy - I can foresee instances with a bike rack when you have to go in forwards and use the “wrong” charger. There should be provision for those towing.

I would think all future locations will be V4.

I wonder if these will be open to non-Teslas in direct competition with Gridserve ?

What car was that with ?

Where does it say anything about forcing Tesla to open up its network ?

Nissan Ariya, Porsche Taycan and future Polestar cars can take 22kW AC - yes Swindon is in the UK, but where do you think the cars come from ?

I thought Grant Shapps said this has been sorted ?

Spoken like a true fanboy.

See Nissan Ariya.

Fleet South is 8 stalls
