Fleet and the big site teased are not necessarily the same thing. Your instinct about the south east may still turn out correct though. Pretty sure it won't be Wales for exampleFleet mentioned above.
There is little/nothing East of the A1 and a whole lot of nice area uncovered. Want to go to the Yorkshire coast? Better make sure you have enough charge to get there and back!Not that I want to sound bitter but squashing another 24 Superchargers into the South-East when there's a square-root of sod-all north of Leeds and then celebrating it as a win is a hollow victory.

Surely York as a major tourist destination deserves some superchargers! I can’t imagine a city has no power available anywhereI was looking at a northern power grid map yesterday (was bored!) and it seems like, while there are areas with limited power capacity, there do seem to be enough places with good capacity that I’m surprised there isn’t more charging capacity there.
York already have 2 "Hyperhubs". Just no Superchargers invovledHome Page| Northern Powergrid
worth a read. Three schemes in York itself, 17 larger schemes around the NE. Not much detail on the three in York but two involve 11kv provision for EV charging (amongst other) although the first two sound scarily ‘council’ phrased. So who knows if thats rollout of third party rapids or lots of local destination. maybe a mix of both

What's the point of having lots of fast chargers at a park and ride? Surely they would benefit from slow 7kwh chargers to slowly top you up while you go off into town.Lots of fast chargers at a park and ride
Heathrow Superchargers (Bath Rd) now open to all vehicles. Turned up today with the car saying 5 available but in reality none due to the fact that they were being used from the wrong side.
Nice coffee in the hotel cafe though.

Just checked back and this one (Heathrow T2 & 3) was opened up at the start of May, at the same time as Guildford. I don't think any other UK sites have been opened to non-Tesla since then (currently there are 24 in total).
Still it's a good example of how the non-Tesla charge port side can significantly affect availability. It really ought to be programmed into the Nav availability/wait time since, as mentioned above, the non-Tesla car make/model is input when the app is set up for using Superchargers.
same as stupid decisions to have superchargers at shopping malls.What's the point of having lots of fast chargers at a park and ride? Surely they would benefit from slow 7kwh chargers to slowly top you up while you go off into town.
Just call AC slow and 50kw fast and then 150kw upwards is rapid
I think the terminology dates back to a simpler time when most home charging was happening at 2kw on a three pin plug compared to that 7kw was fast and would fill your 25kwh hour battery in 3 hours! I realignment of the terminology is overdue.they are 7kwh. See what I mean about terminology? 7kwh is 'fast' and 50kw is rapid. Makes no sense to me. Just call AC slow and 50kw fast and then 150kw upwards is rapid
The York city council hubs were so massively delayed that the "Hyperhub" designation probably seemed appropriate back when they were fist planning them.terminology is getting silly now. Lots of fast chargers at a park and ride - great. But 4 175kw chargers doesn't sound very 'hyper' to me. Good to know there are options though
