This is why. Hopwood Park services off the M42. Non-Teslas can’t use this particular site as it’s deemed “high-usage”. It happened to be empty when I arrived!
On a 260-mile drive I needed a 10 minute charge to get home (or face driving ~150 miles at 50mph on the remaining charge).
The Gridserve public chargers were all in use, and queuing.
