⭐️96% live availability!⭐️

Right across the UK, WattsUp now shows the live status of an incredible 96% of rapid chargers!

Never be in any doubt if the charger you need is available. No other app comes close!

Huge congratulations to our IT team for making this possible.👏

@chiefrudiger @MarkCTrojan Hmmmm.
Perhaps analogous to some type of organisation with outward bluff and bluster trying not to collapse under the weight of its own incompetence. The Chandrasekhar limit might reflect some critical point beyond which the public can take it no more…

@chiefrudiger I like the fact the cable is held in from underneath and the cable protection is not just laid on top of it.

A little side take-away from the Draft Public Charge Point regulations is that peer-peer and “a gully across a pavement” get a name-check in the guidance notes. Currently “grey areas” but now with a government stamp of approval? @EVA_Scotland @106Euan @chiefrudiger

@aidanskinner I’ve been doing it all my life.
It’s not a Glasgow thing either. I was last on a bus a few weeks back in Edinburgh and everyone said thanks to the driver.

A very helpful graph. Shows reduction in absolute terms of gross electricity production in the UK. Why? Better efficiency of white goods, lighting, and people individually all making small differences (turning off instead of standby etc). Keep going folks!

Here it is in absolute electricity output:

We're nearly set for a road trip to the Gairloch Highland Gathering this weekend. @WesternCV are providing a T90EV for the journey and display. Come and join us on the day! Rain or shine it's a great day out. Looking forward to an effortless trip. So much to see and do here!

Gone but not forgotten!

In the past 24 hours, we've removed 80 chargers from the app (all recently decommissioned by their respective operators). Many of these sites will see power upgrades soon.

Sometimes, it's not about showing the most chargers that's important. It's about ensuring that data used by drivers is accurate and reliable.

Drive with confidence using WattsUp.

@aidanskinner You have family in Uist?
I spent my early years of life there.

@Chris_Hoskins @Apple @Adobe Hi Chris,
Rae says “yes”!
So take Adobe’s advice and give it a free 7-day workout!

[Neil MacLennan @scotmacman]

@chiefrudiger @MattJackson_ @106Euan We just need to feed GPT-4 some good case studies of competent, successful, vibrant and profitable CPOs to give it something to work with.
Any suggestions?
Anyone…?
