Only if they're 100kw or more.
Crappy 7kw chargers would not be progress.
There’s no planning permission for it (though I guess it’s on private land so isn’t necessary?) so we won’t know until we look I guess

There is a planning permission notification sheet at the location....There’s no planning permission for it (though I guess it’s on private land so isn’t necessary?) so we won’t know until we look I guess
That's not rapid, as the application wishes to imply.Took me a while to find....The key word in the search box appeared to be "charging"...

It appears they are 31.25kw per station...

Such a shame but oh so typical of the Stafford area.
InstaVolt normally do 50kw chargers and they're brilliant. I don't see any link to InstaVolt based on what you've posted though. You've linked to Chargepoint. I hope it's not Chargepoint as they are beyond crap.Surely its nothing to do with Stafford and everything to do with InstaVolt who are installing the thing right ??
That's not entirely accurate. Most InstaVolt chargers are of the 50kw type at the moment. Yes they use Chargepoint chargers but their USP is that their app is accurate as to the state of play of their charging stations (so no turning up to find they're out of order), their network is well looked after so the number of chargers down is very low and best of all, no need for endless memberships and a wallet full of chargecards, just turn up, plug in and swipe any old credit card and jobs a good'un. After Tesla, In InstaVolt are easily the most user friendly network of stations.Planning applicant is InstaVolt Ltd, Baisingstoke. "The rapid chargers used by InstaVolt are designed, developed, and manufactured by the world leader in electric vehicle charging solutions, ChargePoint. InstaVolt only use the latest DC rapid charge model, ChargePoint Express 250, able to deliver up to 125kW charging. A 10-inch LCD touchscreen lets drivers interact with instructions, information or promotions. A 20-inch wide-format LED display notifies drivers of station availability and status." The units are branded Instavolt in the illustrations.
Why do charging manufacturers make it so difficult? Just make the highest possible kw charger and install that. Don't faff around with lower kw chargers. Surely that would make life easier for everyone? Or am I just being too simplistic?
That's not entirely accurate
I realised it was a quote Noah. You've got to wonder when so many companies can't even get their own facts right.It is a quote from InstaVolt in the planning application. I wouldn't know.
It's the same people who have The Hood.
Fair enough. I think that 50% are also the 50% that have the cafe on Parkside...
