More new EV chargers at Reading Services M4 Westbound (in January 2025)

[@deansh8506]

Great. The amount of new infrastructure that is going in lately is brilliant.

[@minecraftmike6850]

Yes it’s wonderful they have new chargers and of course we will always need more, however the cost needs to be reduced dramatically to make it work properly

[@wyx087]

Thanks for showing this. Tesla prices are obviously drawing the customers away, poor Leaf owner can’t charge with CCS 😂 I’m surprised Gridserve chose to build more here.

i've stopped there for a Supercharger before. Nice to see it expanding even further. Any idea how much they were charging per kWh?

[@GoGreenAutos]

Gridserve pricing is fixed across the network, so currently 79p pkWh www.gridserve.com/electric-vehicle-charging/our-pricing/

@@GoGreenAutos ahh, I didn't realise that! many thanks.

[@IslaSprollie]

Looks like you could use them as a pull through for tow charging, maybe ?

[@GoGreenAutos]

Yes you could, if your trailer wasn't too long.

@ Caravan ?

[@RideshareBuddyUK]

The problem is people are using the gridserve chargers as parking spaces while they wait for a space at rhe tesla chargers 😂. This is why theyve insralled rhe extras 😂

[@stuartgifford8672]

Gridserve still overpriced, think it should be at least 20% cheaper, i know the awful Tory government put in ridiculous £19k standing charge on all fast charges hence the price is still expensive, and Labour i think are in talks to bring it down to a more sensible standing charge.

[@GoGreenAutos]

Please explain this standard charge as not heard about this?

[@JonathanPalfrey]

@@GoGreenAutosit was talked about in the most recent fully charged podcast with the Osprey CEO. He breaks down some of the new charges rapid hubs face now compared to a few years ago. Interestingly unit prices are back down to about 25p

[@dattrax]

the tesla ones are open to all and much cheaper
