Added to Supercharge.info but I take this is different to the planned Cambridge (Great Chesterford)
I expect so, as a site is needed for M11>A11
There is also a GridServe planned for Bar Hill
Even then A14>A428 will not be covered

King’s Lynn? Thetford? Flint?A14? Nice idea but in Tesla’s world nobody drives across the country - all roads and superchargers must lead to/from London. They’ve only just work out that people live in and want to travel to/from Wales.
Yup, still a complete black hole. I (used to, pre-covid) regularly drive from the M6 and then A14 to Ipswich. Rugby now should help but the A14 lacks any sensible options. No, I'm not going to charge at Cambridge services!!!A14? Nice idea but in Tesla’s world nobody drives across the country - all roads and superchargers must lead to/from London.

Rugby is one of the major crossroads of the country, that's why all the distribution companies have set up here. The provision of non SC capacity is more significant in many ways, twelve stalls of fast turn up and pay at a point where many journeys have a natural break.Yup, still a complete black hole.

It is good. And getting better.King’s Lynn? Thetford? Flint?
I am blown away by the rate at which new SC are going in and the effort gone to to locate them strategically.
I bought my M3 six months ago accepting that the SC network would grow gradually and have subsequently been amazed how rapidly it has grown and spread. Of course they will be biased towards arterial routes but that’s certainly not been the be-all and end-all.
It is good. And getting better.
But judging by the amount of 3’s they are selling, it needs to move even faster.
Currently on day 3 of a road trip, two SC’s completely full yesterday with a queue.
Granted it’s bank hol weekend but….
For those who haven't ventured out much to the Tesla superchargers there are 4 types of user:
1. Model X user with free charging who spends the day charging to 100% because it's free.
2. New Model 3 user who didn't spend lockdown watching youtube videos on charging curves and so doesn't know that you don't charge to 100%
3. Outlander driver who doesn't know what day it is.
4. Smart TMC forum readers who arrive at 10% SOC and depart at 50% 8 minutes later having spent the time picking up litter carefully left by the red Model S driver with the personalised number plate. (You know who you are)
Ughhh, what a waste of time, typical EV charging BS...I notice Brent Cross Superchargers are in “reduced service” and there is also an huge upgrade going on by Franklin Energy. Anyone know if Tesla are tagging in on this and upgrading the site?
UK’s largest EV charging hub set to electrify Brent Cross | Franklin Energy
UK’s largest EV charging hub set to electrify Brent Cross The 236-bay hub will be installed in Brent Cross Shopping Centre car park, and will be delivered by leading electric vehicle charging provider Franklin Energy. Hammerson and Aberdeen Standard Investments, joint owners of the flagship...franklinenergy.co.uk
Someone has decided not to mention that next to no cars will take 32A 3 Phase AC charging, so in reality even after 95minutes of misery in Brent Cross few will get more than 16KWh of charge. Far better to just put in more than 2 ultra's. This is not an 'EV Charging Hub'.The chargers, which will be operated and maintained by Franklin Energy on the LiFe Network, will be supplied by EVBox and installed over a number of phases. The first phase, which is due to complete later this year, will see the installation of 50 fast charging points (22kW AC) in the Multi Storey car park and two ultra-rapid charging points (350 kW DC) in the Western overflow car park. Electricity will be provided through REGO-backed, clean electricity contracts.
The fast chargers take 1-2 hours to fully charge a car battery, providing ample time for customers to enjoy the many retail and leisure offerings available at Brent Cross and complements the average time taken for a visit, which, prior to the pandemic, averaged at 95 minutes.(1)
If setup on a power sharing system so it does not limit the number of parking spaces with a connector then 22A is clealy better then 7A as over time more cares will surport it.Someone has decided not to mention that next to no cars will take 32A 3 Phase AC charging

Are they still closing the gate for entry? ie: will these SCs only be open when the showroom is?Cardiff Service Centre Superchargers now officially open.
It has the same issue when coming along the A14 from the east. You’d think that this kind of thing would have been sorted given its all Tesla in-house stuff.Tried the Rugby chargers for the first time today - really nice - other Tesla owners waving - idyllic country drive to rejoin the M1 North. A fairytale. Swans and everything (*).
Only oddity is travelling from the M1 either way - the nav wants you to travel to Coventry on the M6 then double back to take the junction.
ignore it - just follow the signs for the Services and enjoy the swans.
(*) Bonus points if you get the excellent film reference.

It is going to be 24/7, but I don’t know if that’s the case at the moment.Are they still closing the gate for entry? ie: will these SCs only be open when the showroom is?
