New Osprey sites

Since I was shouted down for posting these updates to "Charging hub locations", and there's already an Instavolt-specific thread, let's have one for Osprey too.

First off:-

The Bear Inn, Street, Somerset, BA16 0EF

Odd choice of post locations. Do they have especially long cables?

They have done a few like this now. I stopped at one in Chester a few weeks back and it did have reasonably long cables, yes. Either charger can reach either space I think although obviously the screen only points one way. They seemed like good chargers - easy to use and I got a decent charge rate given the temperature at the time.

Do you have to be a naturist to us it?
Bear Inn Street
Good location. One rapid GeniePoint nearby in Glastonbury, but difficult to plan to use without a clear plan B.

Nice to now have options in the area.

Query around parking fees though (see sign in photo). Presumably don't apply since Osprey are clear it is no parking in EV bay.
Found a new Osprey site at Admirals Table, Dunball, Bridgwater. Not yet powered on but no guarding so must be soon.

Not sure if these have already been mentioned


"Tesco HG3 2DH" is going to be handy for Fully Charged North next year.

I think those are all newly announced. None that I think I'll use but great to see they are getting on with more installs quickly like Instavolt. I quite like the 75kw chargers too for a small site.
Looks like a Sainsbury's near Banbury may be getting an Osprey charging hub

EDIT - This turns out to be Osprey's already announced Brackley hub at ///fidelity.picturing.dissolves

Hopefully a sign of a bigger partnership with Sainsbury's.

Looks like the Banbury Brackley one (A43) which I think is a Marstons one, just happens to be next to Sainsburys.
Any more chargers in Banbury and the locals won't be able to switch their lights on !

@Redimp52 is correct. This is the Brackley site.

This building site was the reason I stumbled across this forum, since I was curious about what charging network this was!

There are already two 50 kW Osprey units at this site which is why I was there in the first place - these two Osprey units don't show up in ZapMap, maybe because Osprey are going to remove them in favour of this hub, which is about 50 yards away from the current chargers!

Ive just posted elsewhere on the two 80ish kW Ospreys installed at Cupar Fife, Burger King.
Prior to this installation Cupar was the largest town in Scotland, by population. without a rapid.

Unfortunately both of these chargers have been removed 🤔

Interesting - perhaps a supply delay so these units have been redeployed somewhere else?
