Norwich East plans are here

Nothing comes up on the South Cambs planning register (covering Bar Hill if indeed it is the right one!). I will keep an eye out; it's certainly a plausible location.

BAR HILL ELECTRIC FORECOURT LIMITED - Overview (free company information from Companies House)

Only got incorporated 12 Nov 2020- probably a bit soon for a planning app.

@VanillaAir_UK maybe move the last few posts to the ‘Gridserve Braintree’ thread and rename it to drop [Braintree]? Or do we think all Gridserve sites get SuCs?

They’re still semi applicable to this thread as they are speculative locations (Gridserve/Tesla partnership)

Sounds like they are best left is, but the Braintree thread has now been renamed Gridserve Charger Sites in UK [megathread]

Can I cash out?

Update is that they’re getting there, obviously still work to be done, needs to be commissioned and still needs connecting to the mains supply.

Are there any destination chargers operational at the moment at the Crawley site? Thanks

There are a few wall connectors on the wall opposite the entrance to the site but not sure if they are reserved for service vehicles or available to owners visiting.

Comments suggest December 10th opening

The Braintree Supercharger appeared on Tesla's Find Us site today.

Strange. Wonder if they’ve had a soft launch today.

And I guess that wins @cezdoc’s competition for next opening

TOGUK now know of two more (on top of Braintree) Supercharger sites that will be live by Monday. Can't say which until they're either showing on the Nav or spotted by a member visiting. Looking like it's going to be a flurry of openings before the end of the year.

Money on Banbury and Aberdeen. Followed by Edinburgh next week.

I wonder how Adderstone (Purdy Lodge/Berwick) is getting on?

I think that started about a week before Edinburgh, but being the middle of nowhere could take longer to get commissioned.

Nothing in Scotland by Monday... England only for these two sites. Aberdeen and Newbridge are so close but will be a fraction later.

I read a comment somewhere that the Adderstone stalls were "in the wrong place" and will need to be moved. Not sure of the veracity of that though: the installation team have lots of experience now so it would seem like a weird mistake to make. Photos showed power supply (transformers, charging cabinets) in place so it's pretty well advanced.

Latest was from @scottrobertson hopefully have another update soon.

Adderstone/Berwick coming along nicely. Looks like the power may be in, so hopefully not long now.

Interesting to see “Tesla WiFi” at the Braintree site too

Tesla vehicle WiFi network also available outside - specifically provided for Tesla vehicles to connect to and download over-the-air updates

Wonder if this will be like the service centres and auto-connect

They had a soft launch on Wednesday I believe.

 

[NorfolkMustard]

Yeah, some kind of an invite only event on Thursday, and were open to the public without fanfare on Friday 4th. I’m going to take a look today.

the superchargers are on the in-car map now, also 24p/kWh

Upload to supercharger.info for Adderstone today. Doesn’t look much progress lately. And doesn’t support previous comments with stalls being in wrong locations. Maybe it’s an older photo only just uploaded today

Any news regarding the Rugby supercharger ? Would be really useful to have a stop on the A14 to M1 north corridor. Presently nothing between Ipswich and Sheffield.

LFE would be great... but has been pending for the 4 years we’ve had the Model S.

 

[Andywil]

Something east of the A1 would also be great for those of us in north England..
