They're showing open on the app/Nav this morning and I noticed someone on TOUK said they stopped there yesterday and were able to charge even though it was reporting a service interruption at the time.

I notice the plan has a lounge with "keypad and guidance for automated door" - implying 24hr unattended access to lounge and toilets for supercharger users. Are there any other sites with this?
Also two areas on the floorplan marked "battery repair" (with "ESD floor mats" and "rescue pole") implying opening of battery packs. I think we have seen this on other service centre plans, maybe not so much detail. Also interesting is adjacent "battery storage" of two types - one drawn with something looking much like a Model S pack, the other smaller - individual modules???
Utilities statement confirms 1.9MVA electrical supply has already been ordered and paid for. That's somewhat more than needed for the 12 supercharger bays (3 V3 cabinets = 1.16MVA).
Solar PV considered at several places in the various documents (including the "community involvement") but in each case it's dismissed on the basis that using heatpumps for heating is enough to cover the energy-efficiency targets they are aiming for.

If you look at the plans, there are quite a few of these spread around, 43 to be exact.
And 12 of these.
So 12 active and 43 passive (future). I think that accounts for all the electrical supply that has been ordered. Plus all the electric lifts and other high electricity use items in the shop.
He said they were in Swansea, so it's only rain damage.it looked like they have had some fire damage at the first glance

Photo of new Merry Hill Supercharger via Twitter, located after I saw a post by Alex Rogers on TOUK. There are 4 charger cabinets; in the TOUK discussion one reply said there are 14 stalls in total. Looks like it’s fully built & just waiting for power to be connected.

Just a thought: had they aligned the bay markings on both sides of the tombstones, they could have resolved the bay blocking issue for charging non-Teslas with a different charge port orientation.
It’s something but I don’t think it’s on purpose. A bit like how you can use some south Mimms chargers from both sides.
The downside is working out which charger is free when it’s busy and there is little to stop people ICEing the bays on the other side so there may be a charger free if you come in from the ‘wrong side’ but that space may be occupied by a non charging car already.

Speaking of fleet south.. I'm sure someone was posting with insider knowledge they were about to be switched on anytime soon. Does anyone have any updates from this? Would be great for my trip in 2 weeks..
Would appear that Abington now has their AppleGreen chargers up and running. Not been there myself (yet) but relieved my journey to/from Scotland should be less perilous from now on!
