One thing I found great with the Tesla open for all chargers, is the pricing. I paid around 50 pence per kWh when I charged there lately. Compared to the rip off on BP 94 pence and She’ll at 85 pence. I will next try to sign up for a few months in summer with Tesla to reduce pricing even more. Think it is about 10 Euro per month. By that the price at Tesla reduces another 10 pence or so to 42 pence per kWh.

Compared to Ionity pricing through the super expensive Porsche charging service Plus at GBP 29.99 per month and 39 pence per kWh, Tesla pricing is a real bargain!

Are all the Tesla stalls, including the V4 ones 400v or are the newer ones 800v. Asking for a friend who didn't spec the 150kw charger thingy because he listened to the sales guy....

Great news that Tesla open up more chargers in the UK. I highly recommend ChargeFinder app if you want to find all those in an easy way instead of that google map thing. In ChargeFinder you will see realtime availability/prices, can filter on Tesla open for all and also see all other networks on the same map.

I like ChargeFinder too by my “google map thing” does at least quickly tell you what sites are V2/V3 and V4. Which I find quite handy ?

It was not my intention to say that your google map is bad and understand the purpose :)However, v3/v4 are easy to find on ChargeFinder, just select 250kw+ in the filter and all v2 will disappear

either way, it's good to have multiple options to find information :like:

There’s no way of telling v3 from v4 on chargefinder that I know of. That’s a crucial factor for me at least.

That's true, I haven't found such feature either. However, I find the v3 to be equally as good even though the cables are shorter. Have no problems using those and the max kw speed is the same on v3/v4 (at least for now until Tesla upgrade v4 to higher capacity and with 800v support)
