Used the new Cardiff Superchargers for the first time yesterday. I plugged in several chargers away from the only other car there thinking I was obeying the etiquette of avoiding pairs, and it only got up to 25kW. Then I noticed that there are two groups of four chargers labelled A–D. I plugged into the other group and the charge went up to ~200kW. What’s happening with this new layout?

Four-letter supercharger groups

V3 Superchargers have four stalls per cabinet.
So in a 2-cabinet site with 8 stalls, if you park in the same letter as somebody else you know you can't be sharing with them.
It's kind of opposite to the v2 pairing.
As I understand it that's correct. Each cabinet is 1MW and handles four 250kW bays, so there should be no load sharing.
Presumably the four are labelled A,B,C,D to help with identification in case of maintenance/outages, since otherwise there's no need for users to pick the 'best' stall.

There’s been previous reports of slow charging on the V3’s in Cardiff. Perhaps it was just a duff stall …
