We know it has been poor. But now Dale has a new partner with funds to invest. Good News (I hope)

Looks like CCS implementation by car manufacturers were a lot to do with the problems as they supposedly didn't have many issues on chademo, according to the fully charged video.

Makes no difference to us who rarely use motorways! No doubt the new chargers will be hogged by Tesla's and Taycan's

Hmm, according to Dale in the Fully Charged video the upgraded chargers that replace the long knackered legacy units will all be able to charge two vehicles simultaneously, but the picture in that ZapMap article appears to show a new charger with only one set of plugs (one for each type), so does that mean it can only charge more the an one vehicle if it uses a different plug? If so, that’s not great.

I think that could have read "Motorways near me" and the result would have been the same. Ecotricity's Electric Highway specifically targets motorway service areas.

The same here, also with a lack of motorways near me it's the same, but with the addition of nothing East of the M3 on the M27 due to lack of services.
