I agree, the decision to locate that many Superchargers at Leeds Whitehouse isn't ideal. That car park is always full of stock/unregistered cars. Last time I was there (April) they only had 2 spaces for customers to park.

Assuming they close the Village Supercharger (labelled as Barnsley) the issue will be that it will now mean that anyone on the M62 will have to drive into the centre of Leeds down the M621 to charge. The Supercharger at the Village was useful but with only 2 bays it's frequently full.

Whitehouse is also down a 1 way street!

Barnsley is at Tankersley Manor Hotel just off the M1. The Village is on the M62 and is labelled as Leeds, sorry to be pedantic.

Sod driving into the centre of Leeds, you need a sherpa to guide you through the one way system

M1 to Leeds SC is a very easy route.

Yes sorry, no idea why I had Barnsley on my mind writing that! Think it's because it was the last one I used. I should have typed "labelled Leeds".

8 stall 250kW

Edit: permit 20/01678/FUL shows new electrical substation at Tesla Service Centre. Not sure where the 250kW figure is confirmed

Stalls labelled 1A-4B so highly doubt V3 250kW and also substation is similar to V2 according to SpeakEV user. @MarcoRP could you amend to 150kW please.

where are you seeing pictures of the stalls?

does paired stalls, i.e. 1A, 1B etc indicate this will be 150kw not a 250 kw charger?

Reckon they'll retain the old super chargers at the airport given how close these two sites will be?

Buying a Tesla is currently a great way of avoiding airport parking charges for drop offs and collections

Yes, plus the fact there are 4 charger cabinets shown on the plans. Fully Charged's video of the Park Royal opening shows the V3 cabinets: they are a bit bigger and each one serves 4 stalls - so for 8 stalls you'd only need 2 V3 charger cabinets.

That’s Leeds and now Edinburgh that will have superchargers at their service centres. This the new theme? No obvious places for coffee/toilet etc at 3am.

These also near main routes?

I welcome any new chargers btw. Just questioning their choice in location.

Aberdeen Service may also be getting Superchargers. Discussed in this thread:

Edinburgh service centre is probably a 3 or 4 min walk from a McDonald's and a petrol station with a Subway so location isn't bad. Also in the proximity of 3 motorways so a good spot.

There does seem to be a concerted push to get superchargers at service centres; some of them (eg. Edinburgh) are maybe sensible locations for general use, but I wonder if this is more about demand for charging new cars and similar rather than increasing provision for ordinary customer use.

As others have said, that plus the dimensions (and quantity) of the associated charger cabinets indicate that the drawing is of a V2 supercharger installation.

However, in this case it's not completely cut-and-dried, since the stalls and charger cabinets are just background images - the planning application is strictly for the substation, and the charger cabinets/charging bays are outside the red-line area on the plan. Hence the chargers/stalls are not part of the planning application and they could install something different if they felt like it, though given recent history at other sites V2 does seem most likely.

I guess they already have the sites so planning is easier and they can turn the service centres into stealth cost centres to keep them going. I would rather new chargers went into service centres than they close them.

I met a Tesla Edinburgh employee at the Eurocentral Dakota supercharger pre-lockdown and he said then that the new Edinburgh installation would be one of the last V2’s in the UK.

I dont suppose he mentioned anything about Fort William?
