So obviously it’s a busy time on the roads, but thought I’d share my supercharger observations. I did 240 miles up the M1 and A1 yesterday and back again today.
Woodall was maxed out (8 out of 8 stalls busy) both times I was there - around 12:30-13:30, so “peak” lunchtime. One or two cars were queuing at times, but not for long - I had to wait about five minutes.
I got the feeling that people were being decent and moving on when able to do so, not just hogging the chargers. (I certainly stopped charging “early” once I had enough to get to Newport Pagnell)
I even saw Scotch Corner full, which has been pretty empty when I’ve been there before. My Mum said she never thought she’d so many Teslas “up north”
Newport Pagnell was busy, but I didn’t see it full.
Of course once you get over half occupancy charge rates plummet with the current v2 superchargers, which makes the charge times longer.
Really feels like northbound M1 around Woodall would really help... I know it’s on the “coming soon” list (for years)
