I'd just come here to say that!

It's a bit of a charade really, my expectations are that most in GB will most likely vote for the 4 on the mainland and maybe Cavan or one on the way to their favourite holiday location in Europe. Presumably this happens in other countries too which would make it a 'how many Telsas are there' in each country 'vote' but they already know the answer to that.

I guess people on the continent near borders may have different views.

Come on Cheltenham!
(May be slightly biased, but there’s a definite coverage gap in Gloucestershire. Personally I’d put it near the M5 / A417 junction (11A), or the soon (in Dept of Transport timescales) to be revamped M5 J10.)

 

[YoungDavid]

(May be slightly biased,

Agreed!

I may or may not live in Cheltenham with included supercharging so this would perhaps help fill the M5 hole (and my pockets).

The South Koreans are certainly well orchestrated ("Come on Cheltenham!"):

Northampton Service Centre Supercharger also went live yesterday!

This is great news as visiting mum in Wellingborough this weekend and it being easter......

Bank Holiday rush has now started. Please plan accordingly!

You can now view pricing in the directly Tesla app (without needing to check via the membership pricing)

On that note, has Tebay always had 4 time-of-use pricing blocks? (Other sites only have 2 -on/off peak)

Yes! Finally.

I charged at Tebay last month and don't remember three time blocks.

 

[rowedav]

Pricing in the app is a great touch. Very useful

 

[CMc1]

Rugby and Scotch Corner (and likely others) also have FOUR time based tariffs.

 

[exlatccatsa]

Abington as well

29p is pre-war price, early 2022

I have never ever attempted to Supercharge at a particular time to reduce costs. If I need to charge on a trip I need to charge!

 

[WannabeOwner]

If I need to charge on a trip I need to charge!

Price might cause some/you? to shift the trip to "cheap rate" ... if some folk do that then it would shift the usage to reduce chance of queueing at peak times. Road charging (if that comes as a replacement for Fuel Duty and Road Tax) could similarly have a cheap rate for middle of night - that might move some commercial traffic out of peak times ...

But I dunno how many people are going to decide to bundle up the kids and drive to Cornwall in the middle of the night!! to save a few pence per kWh

Well, you might be tempted to do that already to avoid traffic (I know I did as a child going on holiday to Cornwall in the pre-EV era, and I've done it more recently despite having free supercharging). So the saving of a couple of quid might be enough to tilt the balance for a reasonable number of people.

Well for Cornwall, unless you are happy to arrive late afternoon - you tend to leave at very early morning anyway... It is like 5 hrs of driving there

Me too, parents used to bundle me up at 3AM, lay me on the back seat (no seatbelts), and drive straight through the middle of London ... but we are of an earlier vintage @arg

Yes, but that's true of almost any journey where you need significant charging en-route.

 

[Overworked]

This is the Supercharger site news thread.

Discussion on holiday plans etc is for a different thread over there ———->

Not charging - to drive for a long time in general

Fleet South. What’s the scores on the doors? Anyone found the key for the power cabinet?

Would also like to know. I drove through yesterday but both Superchargers and Applegreen chargers are still dead.
