Yeah I forget about that one.

There are unfortunately some "wish-list" dots on that map. For example - the black "Planned 2023" dot located just above the "n" in London on the map - well they got turned down planning for Flamingo Park off the Sidcup Bypass (Chiselhurst) by Bromley Council - who dicked them around for a year or more before finally turning it down.


It's not clear to me if they have found an alternative site.

This is free, but it's listed as a requirement on the signage to avoid a ticket. There's signage at the entrance to the car park that suggests 10 mins is the limit in these overnight hours (it's 3 hours during the day) but it doesn't mention that 10 minute limit on the signs by the chargers.
There’s several supercharger sites with similar requirements to text your reg into a portal - A12 Colchester carpark attached to the Marks Tey hotel is like that.

If you’re unlucky enough some want payment while you charge - Heathrow and Canary Wharf or strict limits to an hour of charging after which it’s steep parking charges; Intercontinental at the O2. Thankfully Tesla list restrictions on the screen in their cars. Good feature.

Nice spot. I’m guessing that’ll be another roofless design like Camborne and Basildon

Edit: and by the look of it 6 connectors (3 dual head Alpitronics) on Day 1 with expansion for up to 8.
