Looks as though Birchanger Green expansion is now live with 20 250kw stalls. Nice to see the existing 4 x V2 still there as well.

I think this is the first UK supercharger to have two sets of stalls in quite separate areas. For now the Tesla app and their FindUs map pinpoint the V2 stalls next to the Days Inn but the V3 ones are about 250 m away in the main car park. I agree it's nice that the V2 stalls have been retained - handy for those of us with slower charging cars (I have a MS70) or not in such a hurry to get going again, not to mention old timers without CCS!
A new 10 x V4 coming soon at the M1 J27 just north of Nottingham.
I’d suggest these are more of a relief site for Mansfield which is often rammed a few miles up the road.

Took a look at both sides of Rownhams today.
On the north side are the six not yet working Gridserve chargers where the line is, plus a single 50kWh charger and a couple of slow (7kWh?) chargers where the two x are.
On the south side interestingly there was a row of bays blocked off with metal fencing, along with indications of some sort of work being prepped for. Possibly 2 + 2 = 5, but it wouldn’t be hard to imagine a row of chargers sitting there in a few months…

See my earlier post of a few weeks ago, I visited on 17 Feb to check. The site is complete, The old 4 x v2 are removed and 14 x V3 are installed and ready and parking lines all painted, Heras fencing just blocking them from being used. It looked as if all that was required was to connect them and commission them. There was still some plastic wrapping around the control cabinets at that point.
I am just waiting for the turn on as it is on my regular commute and it will be better than Abington for me.

Repeating a comment on a FB forum: guy repairing Eurocentral chargers at the end of last week "reckons Gretna hopefully switched on later next week all being well".
For most modern "news" sites that's a good enough to lead to run the "ELON MUSK CHARGER EXPANSION TO CAUSE BLACKOUTS ON SCOTTISH BORDER" story.

Good news, I find myself doing a stanstead run nearly every month. Whilst the apple green chargers there are pretty reliable they're quite expensive
Does anybody have any news on the status of Brora SC? Target opening was Q1 2023. Use this route from Glasgow to Thurso and back twice a month.
New pictures today, all the V2 and V3 stalls have been removed. No new equipment is on site yet.
Someone called the restaurant where they are hosted and they said it will be closed for a month.
I don't think we even know where this one will be built. No permits or construction found. Keep an eye out when you drive through and let us know.
15 V4 stalls all built as of a month or so ago, awaiting power/transformers to the site, etc. Could be live next week or next year........
