In the UK, Nissan has put in a bid for 65 chargers which would be strategically located at selected service stations along the motorway network, creating a ‘pathway’ on major routes across the UK.
Contact has already been made with the three largest motorway service station chains who have a total of 100 stations across the country.
In addition, Quick Chargers would be located in some city centres and other key locations such as airports.
Ehh? Never heard of that, what is that?CHAdeMO supporters doubling down.
Sorry, it's an idiom I used before on this subject. I mean to say that supporters of the CHAdeMO standard are increasing their investment (upping their bets, so to speak) to insure its success over other standards. This Nissan announcement has been expected for a while.Ehh? Never heard of that, what is that?
Yes it was good to hear that Nissan got the message and are going all out to install these chargers in useful locations *for all EV drivers*.
Actually I think that's referring more to the fact that some Nissan chargers were not open to the general public.A side blow towards the Tesla DC charging network? Only fair.
a few more tantalising details... View attachment 4259
I managed to find which corner of the car park they'd hidden the charger in Abingdon Waitrose and the Polar post was in use charging a Nissan Leaf. There were also a couple of engineers fixing up the Nissan fast charger, I didn't ask but suspect maybe it was their Leaf.
