This is good to see.
Motorway services on the M5 Exeter.
Masses of electric car chargers, all busy and groundwork for more underway.
Well done #Gridserve and #Tesla

I remember charging when there was a total of two chargers and 4 plugs here!

More of these please!

A #GridServe EV charging station in the UK (near Braintree) which features about 40 spots to charge your car (up to 360 Kw per hour…if you car can handle it).

Just as #Gridserve opens there new #Gatwick rapid recharging Hub , this #Distraction government announces #Pitiful #Oil and #Gas licenses

(2/2) No registering, 69p/kWh - not Shell's 85p/kWh plus 35p scalping charge.

On a sidenote, I see #Gridserve are trialling vegetable oil-powered kit to cover the period between installing chargers and actually getting a grid connection https://zap-map.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3b9a4542648b6611be5e55ae&id=eb04e3f459&e=5175b37cc3

The only slight downside was the number of cars plugged in to high-speed that couldn't actually charge at anything like that rate, which makes the Kempower linked chargers here https://www.zap-map.com/news/arnold-clark-kempower-partnership sound very interesting.

Greetings, all. Just back from a couple of days in Brighton in our trusty #EV and I have to tip my hat to #Gridserve. #ABRP suggested King's Lynn to Brighton via Sissinghurst needed two short stops: Gridserve #Thurrock and Gridserve #PeasePottage. Both were working flawlessly - plug in, tap contactless card, walk away.

First stop, a pee and a tea each, depart on 91% (more than we needed). Second stop, pee, no tea, 8 mins. Two days in Brighton, 6 mins stop at Thurrock then home. (1/2)

@LyleDAL @show Yep, always a great experience to visit a #Gridserve Electric Forecourt - sometimes we go (a bit) out of our way to charge there rather than anywhere else. I was just there on Saturday as it happens, it feels as though I only just missed Nikki, as all the demo cars were in the exact same positions!

The "manufacturer statements vs real-world" conundrum of owning an #EV.

Specs say the car can charge 10% to 80% in 43 minutes.

Reality says a 40% to 80% charge took 53 minutes. And I was the only person using 1 of the 6 350kW DC chargers at this #Gridserve location.

So more time for way less charge capacity.

Charging at #gridserve chargers is a pleasure. It just works, pay with a normal card. No problem.

Ionity you have a lot to learn

Blessedly, it was quiet at Tebay although I had to cross over to the Northbound service. First #Gridserve device didn’t like me but the other one did and pumped in the power at my max 43kWh rate. One hour later my battery was totally full!
That got me all the way to my hotel at Alderley Edge with 20 miles to spare. Phew.

Sometimes wish we didn’t live so close to the GridServe Braintree Electric Forecourt.

It’s exactly the type of place I’d like to charge at on a trip. And they are getting quicker still.
