Looks like a couple of Tesla only bays in addition to the electric only bays in South Mimms. Do they sponsor this and pay the services owners or are there yet more subsidies flying about. Seems a bit elitist really when one leccy car trumps another leccy car, as if they (we) don't have enough baseless superiority already wink

Maybe they are different but I have a 10m cable and it'll reach to a spare slot on a nearby charge head.

Regarding adapters I imagine all sorts of comms between car and charge point for analytics and telemetry. If I was running a new tech company like Tesla and wanted to stand ahead of the crowd I'd be collecting every last byte of usage information possible. I imagine the charger needs to satisfy some sort of protocol rather than just being a power socket.
