Tesla asking for votes on SuperCharger locations [UK and Ireland]

[Sean.]

Voted for one in Poole. It’s a bit of a SC desert there. There’s also car ferry traffic to Cherbourg, St Malo, Guernsey & Jersey from Poole Harbour.

There’s a whopping great Tesla battery at Holes Bay too. Can’t be that hard.

It would make more sense of the ones that were planed for Ferndown (there was two coming soon locations on the tesla website) since this is more within the realms of a central and main route going places (including Poole). Unfortunately these have now disappeared from the map.

Rapid charging fund

The rapid charging fund (RCF) will enable a comprehensive ultra-rapid charging network by funding prohibitively expensive grid connections.

www.gov.uk

Chances of having 6 ultra rapids at every MSA next year?

"The rapid charging fund (RCF) is a £950 million fund to future-proof electrical capacity at motorway and major A road service areas to prepare the network for 100% zero emissions vehicles (ZEV) uptake."

[Well that's very exciting except for the next bit below. This was published in September 2021 yet not even open for applications more than a year later!]

"How to apply"​

"The fund is not yet open for applications. Further details will be available shortly."

Yeh I’m not too precious about the precise location. Somewhere within 5-10 miles of Poole will be fine and dandy thanks

Holyhead would be nice...

The site suggestion page doesn't autocomplete with village or town names, like "Crainlarich". However, it would accept "Glenfalloch Rd, Crianlarich FK20, UK" which was my suggestion as a gap on multiple West Coast routes.

Yes I spotted that too. I had to use a street name first to get it to show Ullapool.

I've suggested one for Cairnryan. I go to Ireland by ferry a few times a year and my route means I'll be about 40% hitting the port and the next supercharger is in the south as a bit of a detour for my destination. A super charger in Belfast would be good too
