#TraffordCentre #Supercharger Parking on a supercharger without charging. ABC = Always Be Charging ⚡
Shame on you EV owner, you should know better.

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

1.​ I’ve seen a lot of things, but I’ve never seen a Tesla used like that before.
​2. Well, that’s a creative use for a Tesla if I’ve ever seen one!
3.​ Safe to say this wasn't in the owner's manual.
​4. Definitely not your typical Tesla use case.

#TraffordCentre #Supercharger full… thanks in part to two cars that apparently come just to *admire* the bays. ABC = Always Be Charging ⚡

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

#TraffordCentre #Supercharger, still full, no thanks in part to another two cars just parked up in the bays.

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

#TraffordCentre #Supercharger to find all 18 bays full again, no thanks in part to these two cars just parked up in the bays.

📍 UK Manchester‑South Supercharger (Stockport, SK4 5AD)
Reminder—as many users don’t realise:
4x V2 (150 kW, shared) – front row, near road
4x V3 (250 kW, no sharing) – back row, near building

⚠️ V2s share power = slower if both in use
✅ V3s give full speed per car.

Today I arrived at the #TraffordCentre #Supercharger to find all 18 bays full again, with a 15 minute queue. Three electric cars were just parked on the Superchargers but not plugged in. Shame on you. #evs #tesla

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

I've just watched the driver of this car purposely remove rubbish from their car; just after disconnecting from the Manchester South Supercharger, and decide it's fine to place it down on he ground in a corner; as seen in the picture. Why does anyone feel it is OK to do this?

#Supercharger #Manchester UK #TraffordCentre Unit 5B Case damaged and open to the elements. #Tesla #EV

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

Today I arrived at the #TraffordCentre #Supercharger to find it full again.
4 bays used by Tesla charging new cars.
1 car was just parked up.
4 cars charging from the opposite side so taking up 8 chargers.
7 currently in use by Tesla cars. #evs #tesla

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

#TraffordCentre #Supercharger has been full with waiting cars for over an hour now, yet my display has claimed that there has been between 5 and 7 spots free during this same period. #tesla #ev #weneedmorechargers

2/2 Local authority data shows London with over 10k EV chargers, dwarfing other big UK cities including Leeds 340, Birmingham 248, Edinburgh 181, Liverpool 175, Leicester 114, York 101, Cardiff 84 & Belfast 55.

Westminster alone has 1,292, ten times as many as Manchester 112
#EV

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

1/2 UK data shows one charge point for every 30 EVs in the South but one for every 50 in the North.

London is racing ahead; with three times the number of chargers as the whole of Wales — while nowhere is experiencing a greater boom than the borough of Westminster.

High usage #SC at the #TraffordCentre today; yet this lady decided to return to her car, unplug it, but not move it. Cars had been queuing up to use it just minutes earlier & later. As I left, it had been left like that for over 30 minutes. #Tesla #ABC #AlwaysBeCharging  #EV

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

First non #Tesla EV I've seen on a #Supercharger and as the car's charge port was on the opposite side from a Tesla, it had to take up two bays to charge. As luck had it there were plenty more free spots this time. #Teslaftw

[Tesla Owners UK 🇬🇧 @TeslaOwnersUK]

If you see this sign (with or without the permit holders part) it means the bay is ONLY for charging, so if you’re not plugged in and charging your EV/ Tesla you likely will get a parking ticket. Just because we drive an EV doesn’t make us exempt from the regulations. 👍

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

And another on the CCS only Superchargers.

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

On the original front Superchargering stalls at Manchester UK South; two Tesla drivers feel it is OK to just park and not be charging. Why please, just why? Shame on you both. #Tesla #Superchargering #Supercharger #Teslaftw

[Tesla Motors UKMancs @teslamancs]

Whilst Superchargering, I just watched an ICE burst into flames opposite Manchester, UK South Supercharger. I have to wonder if it will get the same news coverage as an #EV would do; if it burst into flames?
