The key elements include six high speed charging hubs on motorways capable of charging eight vehicles simultaneously; 16 high speed charging hubs capable of charging four vehicles simultaneously; additional high power chargers at 34 current 50 kW locations; upgrading over 50 22 kW chargers to 50 kW, and replacing up to 264 locations with 528 charge points at the pre-existing pilot grade of 22 kW to next generation high reliability models.

As mentioned before it's simply a case of cables too short but providers bitten by having to replace them due to car's reversing over them etc. It just fooking stupid, 2020 and they can't get the most basic things right, a real example of someone in an office somewhere coming up with a "solution"

As said, there was a Model S in the left space when the Model 3 arrived. Anyway, it shouldn't still be like this, almost 10 years since they first installed chargers, it really shouldn't .
markpb wrote: » These charge points typically have two spaces. If you can park in the one on the right, you’re golden because the charge point is right beside your charge port. If only the left one is free, the cable isn’t long enough to reach across the back of the car and around to the charge port on the side so you have to park on top of the car in the right space or as an angle (as shown).

Kramer wrote: » So this is how the best selling Model 3 has to access the right charging space of these new "hubs", that's even assuming there's any point - there isn't if there's already a CCS car charging in the other space. You'll be sh1t out of luck. It's ridiculous . A brand new services, an open book as far as design was concerned, but no, stick with the same old antiquated install :rolleyes:. The cable was exerting quite a pull on the charge port at this position too, wouldn't be far off breaking it.
Kramer wrote: » What's almost worse is if a Leaf or Outlander is in the left space at the new "dual" unit, an Ioniq or Model 3 or many other nearside rear ported cars won't be able to access the CCS, so it's barely an improvement in my opinion.

Kramer wrote: » As far as I know, they are powered by 2x 75kW power modules, which can be combined if just one is in use, to output up to 150kW to a single (CCS) vehicle. They should output just 75kW max then, on each connector, should 2 vehicles be connected simultaneously.
