South of London Superchargers

Better mobility, less transport

More cars, more roads, more runways, more railways, more tube lines - none of this is compatible with reducing the carbon dioxide emissions in the timeline that's required. What is possible is that we dramatically reduce the amount that we travel, and the past 18 months have shown how possible that is. This would be far more effective than any plans to change the ways we travel.

I very much agree. One of the big problems is urban design. We constantly build out of town housing developments which are low density and designed around car access. Any shops or amenities are plonked in a retail park that people drive to. All it does is create traffic. We need to build denser, more walkable cities and towns so that people can access the things they need on foot. Look at most Spanish cities - they are super dense, and have narrow, pedestrian streets in the centre, everything is walkable. If we did that all of the roads and superchargers wouldn't get jammed up all the time.

I really think Tesla badly serves its huge ownership group in Surrey. It moved its SUC from Weybridge to the middle of nowhere south of Guildford and has no superchargers until Fleet and Liphook in Hampshire!
