The second V3 stall as you approach them in Manchester / Stockport was out of action earlier with a sign on it. The first one charged fine though.

I’ll probably be able to report back in a month or two as I need to go back as they failed to fix the main fault and it looks like they may not even have looked at the second.

Charged at Banbury earlier. Car park was mega busy with shoppers. No ICEing and lots of Teslas coming and going.

Many shoppers staring and taking photos too.

Seems a very good location to act as an advert for EVs.

Plus got 178 kW at 27% arrival so was happy with that.

Banbury Cross Superchargers are now live; 12x V3.
TOGUK members have successfully charged there tonight.

Shame it's not on the website

 

[Mr H]

Why on earth would a flood risk area be a problem for a solar farm? Just install them a touch higher and wildlife will love it.

you can install the panels higher but not the transformers

 

[Horatio Alger]

Edinburgh Newbridge Superchargers going live next week, per local service team. Glasgow not expected to re-open till March / April.

There’s a process.

1. Soft launch (quiet)
2. Nav icon/route option
3. Website
4. Plugshare via official partnership

Banbury is at the Nav stage. Occasionally they’ll appear on Nav and website close together

Thanks, might give it a go tomorrow if it's not too busy or i'll stick with Oxford

Any news on Crawley SC opening?

Any news on Crawley SC opening?

I would expect it in the next few days (unless they have large numbers of new cars awaiting delivery and they desperately need the space like at Edinburgh Newbridge SC). Lines need painting and wheel stops installed but otherwise appears ready so could happen any moment now. I’m there towards the end of the week so will post photos if they haven’t already been christened.

Few wet snaps at Crawley when I was passing by earlier.

 

[Realaustin]

I might pick your brains later as I'm going from Glasgow to Peterhead for a day trip over Xmas. Would be handy to know the best chargers up there.

I think Aberdeen Superchargers are online now.

Crawley SC superchargers are to go live tomorrow apparently. I will miss the christening, but I will be there on Friday.

There's a picture on FB C+C of them being used, just in time for my weekend trip

Afternoon everyone, is there any update on Fleet Services (South) - been there for years and not turned on. Thanks a million, Stuart

Assume it is dead sadly, but all the while the equipment remains on site there is a glimmer of hope. Problems getting power to site is the common explanation for the obstacles faced.

 

[PB1975]

Just been tipped off of another site opening tomorrow but it isn't Edinburgh. Hopefully have confirmation shortly.

Adderstone then. Nottingham seems too far off

I passed Adderstone today, there were men working on the site, a large green cabinet and two smaller ones, but no charging posts yet, so it won't be that one.

I don't think that will open until 2021 by the looks of things.
