@popey are all Tesla super chargers across the country now usable by non Tesla cars, or did you get lucky?

@bigcalm @popey "Non-Tesla drivers have been allowed to charge at a handful of Supercharger sites since May 2022 as part of a pilot scheme. ... Aberystwyth, Adderstone, Aviemore, Banbury, Birmingham St Andrews, Cardiff, Dundee, Flint, Folkestone Eurotunnel, Grays, Manchester Trafford Centre, Thetford, Trumpington, Uxbridge and Wokingham." -- https://www.whatcar.com/news/tesla-superchargers-everything-you-need-to-know/n26239

@alex @popey indeed. Hence my asking if it was country wide yet, or if he was just in the right place

alex, 7 months ago

@bigcalm @popey as per the quote - it is not a country wide thing, it is a pilot. I conclude he was at one of those sites.

@alex @bigcalm I was at “Maidstone Road, Sidcup, England, United Kingdom DA14 5BQ Sidcup “

@popey @alex @bigcalm Curious to know what charge rate you get when you plug in your Mini? They are capable of 150kW to 250kW. Martin.

@halfpint @alex @bigcalm I got nothing close to that. Nearer 40

@popey @alex @bigcalm Looks like Mini is capped at 50kW. No doubt the next generation will be 2 - 3 times faster charging. I confess to having an M3 RWD with LFP batteries (more eco, recyclable and heavy) which charges at about 170kW at 20% falling to around 50kW at 85%

@popey does it feel like when you use high end Supermarket bags for life at a low end supermarket?1
