Notwithstanding the planning application for Gretna Caledonia Park, the photo in this TOUK tweet shows the groundwork at Gretna services with a G4E van in the background, so it does seem plausible that both sites could be getting Superchargers.
Could it be the Tesla are covering the cost of upgrading the power going in to the services if they’ve signed a deal? They may be the only ones willing to commit to such a rollout?Isn't it the case that the new rules demand competition? I am sure WB would love to just install their own chargers but I don't think they are allowed (exclusively )are they? Does not explain why Tesla specifically. I would not chose to compete with supercharger prices if I had the option
not that they have any their at all yet I don't think

Tesla have the gravitas and ready market / fleet to shoulder this without too much bother.
Not impossible that Welcome Break/Applegreen is another customer of Tesla's new charging hardware supply business.
To be fair the apple green website doesn’t even have a list of where they have existing chargers. It’s really odd.
It’s almost as if it’s a front for a fossil fuel company… oh wait….

These is a really well chosen site. It catches M6 north/south, M61 north/south and the end of the M65. It goes some way to address the woefully poor coverage on the northern M6.

So Ipswich definitely a V4 site!
Caught some photos of the cabinet internals etc, but asked by contractors not to put them up.

The longer cables will help with reaching the chargeports on tractors.

What more could you ask for? McDonalds, Starbucks, Costa, Halfords and, er, Poundland just a few steps away 
And Aldi's just across the throughfare with their handful of slow chargers.
Not far from J10 of the M1 and adjacent to Luton Airport Parkway that occasionally has running trains...
My personal usage will likely be nil - I charge at home with Octopus Go (let me know if you want to climb onboard cheap off peak electricity)
Only four miles north of the nearby Tesla hotspot (Harpenden).
Not quite ready for prime time but getting close

Thought they were further along and had the cabs installed at Luton. Probably another 4 weeks away yet.What more could you ask for? McDonalds, Starbucks, Costa, Halfords and, er, Poundland just a few steps away
