Abington services is being upgraded with an additional 8 x V3’s being installed!

 

[Overworked]

With Larkhall, this and Gretna sites - when all are running it will make a massive improvement on the Carlisle- Glasgow “gap”

I wonder why Darts Farm is not open to non-Teslas ?

Be careful what you wish for.
As far as I know though, since the initial batch of chargers they have not opened up any existing ones unless it's part of an upgrade.

They opened up the v2 sites to non-Teslas in Scotland in two phases, the most recent being last October. So anything could happen...

Last Friday they opened Bristol - Lysander Rd to all.

Absolutely!
Going to be spoilt for choice now!
Although no services beats Tebay services and food available etc…

any one popping into here beware of the potholes they are ridiculous

Has the new development at Pagnell Services northbound been mentioned? Presume so..

I’ve not been in but seen construction from the motorway, is it confirmed to be Superchargers? Would be great if so.

It is now...

You are missing Perth & Aberdeen in Scotland, which also opened up today. Only Edinburgh SC & Airport and the Welcome Break sites of Abington & Gretna remain exclusive to Tesla in Scotland now. Surprised they opened up Aberdeen SC (a small and tight site), but not Edinburgh SC (a large, not very busy site).

Cheers @zexpe that's even more extraordinary that Tesla decided at a whim to open all these suddenly. Clearly chasing revenue. Goes with the price cuts we've seen recently.

Yes, I saw some Tesla charger packaging there when I visited last Thursday morning.

I wonder what they’ll do when the new law requires contactless payment ? - probably just ignore it.

Last Friday they opened Bristol - Lysander Rd to all.

Looks like it is Cribbs, not Lysander Rd. I wish Tesla would price the SCs for non-Tesla the same as other operators. at £0.39/kWh its half the price so is far more attractive to use, leading to more blocking, potential damage to cables etc.

I wonder if Tesla could price aggressively enough to force Gridserve / Ionity / Instavolt into receivership, and pick up another 1000 charge points?

I don’t really see that being a key driver given that Tesla is still accepted as having the most reasonable pricing structure of any of the rapid charging providers. They could easily increase income by simply raising prices.

I wonder if by Gatwick they mean the 4x SuC at the Gridserve forecourt or the Gatwick SC? Either way, with the SuCs being significantly cheaper than the alternatives, they are going to be even more hammered than they already are with all the cabs.
