Nice long trip up to Lancaster University yesterday, 155 miles both ways at 3 hours each way. on the way back, around 8pm, we stopped at Keele services south on the M6, interesting that only one of the disabled bays was occupied, then found out why. walking into the services, the main eateries are over the bridge. unfortunately, no lift available and the escalator was corderned off and not working. Only way to the bridge was up some three flights of stairs! Wife was fuming, as there was no provision for disabled guests. so drove on to Stafford services, great station, only wired thing us that the WHSmiths is self serve? Strange, perhaps the loss of fraud against staff if financially viable At all service stations, Lancaster, Keele, and Stafford plenty of gridserve chargers available, at Keele, the Tesla chargers were very busy ( what do you call a bunch of Teslas? A battery? Wife though a twxt of Teslas lol)
Their is a reason you see tesla chargers full during busy periods and that christmas in the papers article, my parents live 15 minutes from a services, I decided to charge at one on christmas day and went in a saw the massive queue for the tesla chargers and laughed as I parked into a gridserve bay (which they can still use with adaptor that comes with the car) which was 1 of 10 and only me and one person were using them… what I do know with a friend having a new tesla is that he got 1 year of free use at the supercharges, which is why they are all always full.
