They seem to currently be attached to the same power control equipment as V3s, ie 250kW per stall, but according to the details in a UK planning application for 36 new V4 chargers to be installed near Swindon, they will be capable of 350kW

Oops, out of date already; a 5th V4 Supercharger site has also been commissioned this week.
20x stalls in the city of Rennes, France, and is open access .

First V4 Supercharger station to open in the UK - in Tottenham - and the first to offer contactless payment with a bank card using the built in display.
Doesn't say how many stalls though.

Kingsley Village, Penhale, where the B3275 crosses the A30.

Thanks, I don't do social media so I was on the back foot a bit.

Not V4 (well it doesn't indicate who to be honest) but to keep up with Dan's good news stories for chargers, I just spotted the following for anyone over Skipton way:

A government planning inspector has granted permission for a new petrol station off the A65/A59 roundabout in Skipton — overturning a decision by the former Craven District Council to refuse it last year.

The petrol station will be built on Gargrave Road, opposite Keelham Farm Shop, and will also include a shop, car wash, EV charging points and a new mini roundabout.

I’m presuming these V4 chargers are capable as a stand-alone - not a shared 250kW if someone charges on your ‘pair’?

What I cannot understand is how Tesla manage to sell energy at such reasonable rates - not the 75p (and above) costs per kWh on some installations. Unless the others improve, Tesla will trounce the opposition with a huge market share.

I’ve not charged on a Tesla charger as yet. But if I am planning s long trip, I will try to charge at them, if possible. Roll on more chargers being opened up to non-Teslas.

Indeed - V4 stalls get the full 250kW per stall (as with V3) so no power sharing
