What is the correct ‘stall to car ratio’ and how did you work that out?The alternative is to accelerate both the number of sites and the number of stalls coming online so the ratio of cars to chargers doesn’t keep getting worse and worse.
I would think what matters is the time people spend waiting to start and to complete a charge, not some arbitrary cars/chargers ratio. The two are most certainly not the same.The alternative is to accelerate both the number of sites and the number of stalls coming online so the ratio of cars to chargers doesn’t keep getting worse and worse.

The ratio of cars is pointless as that figure will be going up.
Sure. However the OP's point is that the comment came over as booing rather than cheering an opening announcement. 'Woe is me' proclamations aren't a strong affirmation. At least that's the way I read it.The alternative is to accelerate both the number of sites and the number of stalls coming online so the ratio of cars to chargers doesn’t keep getting worse and worse.
Also had to use the expanded Exeter facility on the way down - huge improvement. Did feel sorry for the 10 cars in the queue for the Gridserve ones though...
Interesting there are 4 cabinets for only 4 new charging stalls. Wondering if they're upgrading all the stalls to V3 or V4.Dropped in to Lifton today on the way back from Cornwall, so took a few pictures. Looks like they are making good progress .

Owner previously said to me site was doubling… let’s see how it pans out…Interesting there are 4 cabinets for only 4 new charging stalls. Wondering if they're upgrading all the stalls to V3 or V4.
Lifton doubling their chargers. Works for an additional 8 Superchargers starts tomorrow. Just been chatting with staff and owner. Says there is need for nearby road closure (assume for additional power). Maybe can be verified with council notice?

When did you speak to the owner? There was a road closure there and power works running down the car park from the road a couple of months ago for quite a few weeks. Hopefully the pre-work has already been done.Owner previously said to me site was doubling… let’s see how it pans out…
Just saying - 228kW even a few minutes after I plugged in Exeter. Love it.Couldn't fault the Tesla charging experience as usual, 38 minutes to go from 8% to 98% - barely enough time to let the doggo do his business, go to toilet myself and have a bacon cob!
There were only two rates before, peak (4pm to 8pm) and off peak (the rest of the time) up until about a week or two ago. I am here most weeks and have been planning my journeys accordingly - also identical at Abington.It has been like this i think almost a year now...
I have seen this in April, like this screenshot (I took it in Ppril)There were only two rates before, peak (4pm to 8pm) and off peak (the rest of the time) up until about a week or two ago. I am here most weeks and have been planning my journeys accordingly - also identical at Abington.
Four time frames and prices is new.
Doesn’t that screenshot just show the two rates, 52p peak and 42p off peak - or am I missing something?I have seen this in April, like this screenshot (I took it in Ppril)

maybe bands are better expressed now with time numbers.. but this can be dependant on the regional settings... maybe additional band appeared... but it is the same.
unless misunderstood and you are pointing at more price bands... which is fair enough
it does. maybe it was misunderstanding from my side.Doesn’t that screenshot just show the two rates, 52p peak and 42p off peak - or am I missing something?
New timing bands to replace peak and off-peak only.
Charging last night at Scotch Corner and had timed to start after 8pm as that was after the former peak times of 4-8pm.
I noticed that there were now four time bands as shown below. Whilst dawdling I looked around and noticed that other locations now also have multiple bands.
The Scotch Corner site now has a much broader time/cost spread. I presume this is an experiment to try to flatten peak time queuing at a busy site. Of course the v3 bases have been lying here for two years, and that would halve the queues were they upgraded.

Rugby and Scotch Corner (and likely others) also have FOUR time based tariffs.
