Dual charging heads. Braintree are single and also probably because of the parking layout being reverse or forward in rather than just drive up so dual charging can work. Sadly I'm too close (and do have a home charger) so I probably won't use the chargers there but I'd have been grateful for this the first 3 months after I moved in and didn't have a home charger.
You really believe in this nonsense… I admire your optimism. How an
Bout those living in appartment? And those living too far? How long before the charging cables are cut and stilen? Good luck
Gridserve forecourts are fantastic but I don't wonder how financially viable they are. For the shops to be viable they need a lot of throughput of people and the site will need to be full most of the time and often they are not.
At least this one is in a decently location on main routes so more likely to get more traffic than some of the others.
Only 4 tesla chargers as they are going to build another larger site in Stevenage itself.
When you described the solar and battery arrangement, and then declared that hardly anything taken from the grid, I laughed out loud. Have you done the sums? I'd be surprised to see the solar make much of a dent in the total throughput. The batteries will just help smooth the flow when busy.
Do you include the coffee and croissant cost in the overall running costs of the car?
Good to see a roof at last, something missing from most charging points. Rare not to have a roof at a petrol station.
How much to charge an ev per kwh?
why did you miss the most important thing out
Maybe I missed it but where was the home charging?
Have you left twitter?
If you only live five minutes from Knebworth Gridserve then you have plenty of multi-point charging hubs nearby. Yes Gridserve is superior, but you weren't without options before. I know, I've charged at Stevenage in the past.
Ah great. I drove by on Saturday and they were closed still, I’ll pop in next time we’re passing.
And then the price went up………. There are so many times that you are in the game and then the rules change to your detriment whilst you are still playing.
Unfortunately quite dissapointing as a LEAF owner, been waiting for this to be built and opened since it was announced. Sure they've installed 2 CHAdeMO chargers, however they're limited to 24KW. I would have to stay for over an hour to get the same as half hour at the Norwich forecourt and other providers. Plus one is in a disabled bay?
Might as well not installed any.

Very good video.just got a ev kia nero. we need a gridserve in ipswich.
Or maybe Gridserve Stevenage…:)
Good video, and great for Gridserve to open in Knebworth.
Just a shame that every Gridserve charging location is limited to 2 Megawatts spread over the entire site.
so if the site is busy, charging speeds are limited which may lead EV owners to think their car isnt charging fast
