Slightly OT - Electric car chargers at the Arena?

[RogerE]

Yesterday Tesla announced that some of their superchargers are now open to non-Tesla cars, at the same time, on the Tesla Supercharger map a new Tesla charger installation, due Q3 of this year, was shown at Judds Lane in Coventry.

Doesn't say at the Arena, but would make sense, especially if it were in time for the Commonwealth games, and doesn't say if it will be open to non-Teslas.

Tesco ??

There map which is usually exremely reliable shows it as being on Judds Lane, close to the small roundabout that leads to carpark A

<edit> Just been suggested to me it might be, what Tesla refer to as "destination chargers". These are at places that people visit, and are usually found at attractions, hotels etc. Use of them has to be booked with the site owner, and I have been told that Hilton hotels are having them installed at several of their sites throughout the UK - which would mean they are for hotel patrons only.

We asked S Vaughan about electric chargers (for a friend who currently charges at M6 Junc 1 Services) and were told no current plans but it would be looked at with any new construction (something about available power in the parking areas).

Would imagine the Hotel or Arena event services would have knowledge of nearest local facility.

If they are installing a supercharger point on Judds Lane, it is far more likely to back on to the electricity sub station at the end of the road, where there is a big concrete paved area, next to the the Ricoh car park.
