Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

I avoid Tebay on high days and holidays as there always seems to a queue even if a relatively fast turnover. Mondays to Friday on a working week seems ok.

Used Woodall for the first time. It isn't very good. Awkward to find. Awkward to get in and out of. Why it isn't at the Day's Inn is a mystery. Are there plans to improve or replace some of the poor sites?

I suggest you try Barnsley then tell us how you feel about Woodall. There are plenty of alternatives, not far south to Mansfield or north to FerryBridge, also a new site coming in Sheffield (suspect at Meadowhall). There's also a Gridserve hub thing opening somewhere near there from memory.

I don't see why they would retire a site that's got 8 x v2 chargers at a services, sure they may be a little slower than the newest sites but the food serving in the services is even slower.

I try not to over analyse the coming soon list, Tesla just don’t seem to be able to deliver to their estimates. Most sites get pushed back and plenty just get deleted altogether. Most U.K. sites are seemly pretty small by comparison to what is being opened in the rest of Europe.

It’s only really worth talking about individual once they have actually broken ground.

The new Sheffield one is planned to be at a new Tesla SC Just off the A57 near Crystal Peaks, the other side of the City from Meadowhall.

Was at Cobham M25 this afternoon. All the gridserve and Ionity chargers were working and full with queues evident at each. Woefully inadequate! Tesla Superchargers on the M25 totally absent with the exception of South Mims. There is a shortage of services on Britain's busiest motorway only 3 in 173 miles. If the Govt. is serious about electrification it must impose adequate ultra fast chargers at every motorway service station.

Huge new one planned near Uxbridge right next to a mammoth substation. It is expected to have a huge number of chargers. A few years away from happening though.

8 Superchargers at Norton Park? (According to the Tesla map)
Shurely shome mishtake...

That’s not my point. I get slightly upset about people referring to NE when they mean NE ENGLAND. No way could the furthest north point of the A19 be called NE if you think of the British Isles as a whole. Rant over and I didn’t mean to upset you - I was trying (badly) to make a point. If you have ever lived in Scotland you may realise just how “England centric” the national media appear to be. But this is off topic for which I apologise.

It is quite implicit that when an Englander refers to the NE, they mean the NE of England. Why would I be referring to the NE of another country unless I qualified my statement with the name of the country in question e.g NE France or even the NE of Scotland.
I would suppose that when a southern Scott refers to going North or to the NE he means Aberdeen not Newcastle
unless he clarifies the statement e.g.
NE of England, France, Germany, Timbuktu etc.

So, we are both being too precious here; you for being " slightly upset" and me for feeling it necessary to respond when all the while the K of GB and NE Ireland is going to hell in a handcart....hey ho, at least hand carts are green down here.... probably in the NE too.

The ‘coming soon’ Basingstoke pin is at the Crowne Plaza Hotel RG21 3PR so it would be interesting to see if this is the start of a new rollout at Crowne Plaza Hotels or the IHG group.

Newport pin looks like a Celtic Manor property on Coldra Road.

If you think Woodall is bad you haven't been to many that I have visited.

Edinburgh Airport and another vote for Barnsley.

Edinburgh Airport and another vote for Barnsley.

Thankfully the Edinburgh V3 Superchargers at the service centre are a stone's throw away from ye olde stalls at the airport... so no need to use them nowadays.

This might be old news but there is a big sales and service centre planned for Cambridge hopefully opening next year. Still to be designed and built as it is new build rather than an existing dealership

First I’ve heard & great news - There’s a bit of a hole there which none of the recent SCs have helped with much.

We need more chargers along the M4 maybe at

chargers at J17/18, Leigh Delamere, Chippenham SN14 6LB.

Noticed that the new Heathrow Superchargers have disappeared from the map. Work looks abandoned when I went to take a look last week. No change at all from two months ago, just some preliminary trenching and very soggy looking boxes with superchargers in them lying in a heap.

Just off J16 at either the Hilton or Premier Inn would be a good location - far better than when the pin drop for the potential Swindon supercharger is at the moment (looks like the Designer Outlet Village).

I would go for that, it would need facilities for a dog walk, food and a pee.

East coast is bereft, try going east of York
