The green recovery HV cables were laid to make the capacity available closer to the MSPs (OFGEM funded). The charger companies still then had to apply for the connections off the end of the cables and pay for them.
But I’d hope/expect chargers companies would not be prevented from applying due to eg MSA preferences like Moto. If they want exclusive they should fund the entire HV upgrade. If OFGEM fund then Moto shouldn’t be able to block access to other chargers for example
42 pence per kWh. Whole sale is still fairly low so hope it reflects the price we pay
I've noticed the M1 Leicester GS chargers have been down for a while now covered up.
I assumed it was because GS had upgraded them to the new units but if its WB forcing them offline that's not good for anyone.
Just at it seems like we have an answer to the EC monopoly a new one looks like starting.
With increasing EVs we need more chargers of any type for everyone. Government needs to get involved to sort out these pointless games.
Am so glad we didn't go full EV, it's looking like our X will soon just get used for local run around trips. Queuing for fuel on a regular basis isn't my idea of progress.
Coming up to 100K miles in EVs, and I hate to admit its looking like Toyota may have had it spot on all along with their 'self charging hybrids'
.I love our X, but the RX450H I test drove years back really was quite sublime, and the definition of 'Quality'. The way public charging is headed I wouldn't resist a 450H if pushed.

If they have not charged the advertised price complain.
The phrase "prices change at midnight today" is not a get out not least "midnight today" already happened. Midnight is the start of the day not the end so by definition midnight today is always in the past.
side note though isn't 43p the new offpeak and 69p the old peak rate so that is not comparing like with like is it?
I’ve seen a report on another forum of work at Newark-on-Trent at Maltings Retail Park of 6 Osprey chargers going in and building work for what “looks like at least 8 Tesla Superchargers”. No pictures yet though.
However, it’s been under construction for a while so it would be interesting to see any progress and not just the kit piled up and no work.

Used the superchargers at Hilton Heathrow Terminal 5 yesterday. There were only 4 cars there, yet it was charging at a very slow 37 kW for half an hour, until I gave up. I asked two of the other drivers if they were charging any better, and they all reported the same slow speed for some reason. Something to be aware of - hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

The attached picture is copied from the Ndili Superchargers app. Another earlier photo appears to show footings for at least 10 stalls (some are hidden by the tent); a comment in the app yesterday indicated roadworks to allow power to be connected are underway so it appears good progress is being made at Newark.
Not come across that APP before - I may be the only one ... but I've added a link in case anyone else interested.
"It builds on top of SuperCharge.info, and adds several features including check-ins, photos, nearby points of interest, discussion forum and user comments for each Supercharger
...
One goal of Superchargers For Tesla is to provide near-real-time status of each Supercharger
..."
I was there about 2 weeks ago, plugged in and walked into the hotel. When I came back it was only on about 40kW. Moved to a different stall fed from a different cabinet and it was fine.
