Officers saw this vehicle with cables coming out of the window joining M25. They discovered the vehicle was being powered by two batteries sitting in the passenger footwell. Body panelling was also found to be falling off. Vehicle prohibited and driver will be charged... Charged

I’m not aware of any additions to the motorway charging network for my map… are you?
31 days to go to get the remaining 83 sites done

⚡️More info added to the map ⚡️
• Current charger provision 🔌
• MSA operator 🏢
• Motorway 🛣️
Some insights…
5 motorway services have ZERO public CCS charging
Another 19 only have a single public CCS charger of between 40-60 kW
