Shell Ipswich (Norwich Road) Install

Noticed that Shell have installed 4x 150kw units at their Norwich Road, Ipswich petrol forecourt. This was part of a recent upgrade to the entire station.

Not working at the time of writing this post, most likely due to DNO connection.

Good to see some progress on rapids in Ipswich!

This is a real tough one, I have done a deep dive on local planning documents and can only find something tied up with the construction of the Burger King at Anglia Retail park. The BK has been open since 2021. There is no mention of Tesla Superchargers but the installation of 4 chargers is detailed.

I guess we have to wait til Tesla update their website, I'm not holding my breath for Shell to open their site any time soon though! In the mean time there is a 2x EG Group rapid install just off the A14 near Morrisons that may be of interest.
as a fellow regular traveller to Ipswich I have been looking into chargers ahead of my vehicle being delivered at the end of the year and one of the best spots appears to be the rapid chargers at the P+R near Tesco at the A12/A14 junction

Evening All, I drove past the Shell on Norwich road this afternoon and noticed the coming soon covers have been removed from the chargers and they looked to be powered up!

They’re still cordoned off so not yet useable but they are alive and this could suggest that they really are now coming soon!
According to the ChargeFinder app these units are live now, I’m in Ipswich today and my be headed that way so I’ll take a look
