That will be north side then (and in my case, as I usually join the M3 shortly after this, it is Northbound!).

Impressed that the one location suggestion I made on Tesla's site seems to have resulted in a planning application only a few weeks later!! (Though of course, its a no-brainer to put one in here, and I'm sure they must have been working on it for ages). Hope they implement it rapidly, it will make my regular journey from Poole to Buckingham much more comfortable (there being nothing really convenient for that return journey - the mileage available will be absolutely fine for Buckingham-Poole, wait a day or two off charge, and on to Rownhams!).
 
2020 UK Supercharger summary stats (my tally):
17 sites added, 1 removed
192 bays added, 10 removed (8 were relocated and are included in the 192 figure)

17 equals the previous record for new UK sites: 17 were also added in 2015, although they were typically much smaller with 8 2-bay sites (3 have subsequently closed) - as a comparison, 63 were bays commissioned that year.
Previous record for net additional bays was 108 (2017).

At the end of 2019 there were 55 Superchargers and the only V3 (CCS) chargers were had just been installed at Park Royal.
Total UK sites now commissioned: 71, of which 57 are V2, 11 are V3 and 3 are mixed V2 & V3.
Total commissioned bays: 616, of which 490 are V2 and 126 are V3.

Looking beyond the totals, some important gaps were filled supporting long distance routes (e.g. Amesbury, Inverness, Fort William, Aberdeen).

It's great to see Tesla continuing to support the Supercharger network and achieving some valuable progress despite the additional challenges of the pandemic. Let's see what 2021 brings...
