This is great news for me visiting family in that area, provided Hertz will rent me a Tesla instead of foisting a Polestar on me.

Might be a V4 yet. So Polestar could be in your stars

It's one of the four(?) Scottish V4 sites that was in planning by the look of the shop signage in the background.
It looks rather like the whole development is new - the buildings, the tarmac, the brick-paved disabled spaces opposite, even the housing estate in the background. In fact, the dirtiest-looking bit of the whole photo is the "EV" paved spaces next to the superchargers: looks like the development was built with generic EV spaces and Tesla then did the deal to activate them.
How about this one?

Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the right section mods please move if needed
Spotted a very long row of v4 style chargers (new ones) at gypsy lane retail park exit in Luton. They obviously haven’t been switched on yet but it’s been a long time coming and will fill a good gap in the area between Newport (wrong side of m1 for a lot) and south mims. Will try get a picture tomorrow

I’d say options have been significantly limited of late…Is there anywhere to park @ Luton Airport these days
(Wouldn’t surprise me if they jacked up prices on the other parks to even more insane levels to “fund the repairs”)

That’s one way of putting it! All except for the pedestal at far bay location is sub-optimal in my opinion and somewhat negates the additional V4 cable length
If they put the pedestal on the side like Tottenham you stand a far better chance of accommodating more charge port positions as the car can go into the bay either front to kerb or rear to kerb depending on what suits best. You can reach around a 5-6m length car better with a 3m cable if it’s in the “middle”
Looks like we could finally be seeing some superchargers on the south coast near Bournemouth - 8 due to be installed at Ferndown Forest Golf Club…
It avoids the whole stealing cables from the wrong side issue though, so that's better to me. Cable will easily reach either corner of a car, just need a big spike in front to stop stupid Porsche or Audi getting too close for side charging points.

Great news. Tesla had a (now removed) "Coming Soon" map marker in this area last year so no doubt this is what it was referring to. Good to see some progress on the south coast.
Isn’t the point of V4 chargers is that they’re open to everyone, and therefore should be positioned accordingly ?
