Two more new chargers in Aviemore

Spotted 2 'Ultra High' chargers at the Co-op in Dalfaber, they're still under covers but look the same as the one in Tomatin so probably 100kw each.

When I was last in Aviemore (June 1st as I recall) there were several rapids installed (but not yet commissioned) in the Macdonald Resort car park - I saw them as I was driving up to the Tesla chargers. There's also a BP Pulse rapid at the service station.

ooh, not been up to the hotel, I must take a look. The BP one never seems to be working when I go past.

That's worth knowing because there are only four Tesla chargers and I tend to worry they'll be busy. It would also be good if Tesla added some more.

I’ve not used a Tesla unit there yet - they’ve always been busy.

I've tended to stop somewhere else rather than Aviemore just in case. By Perth I'm still quite high on charge so if I stop at the Ionitys there I have time for a coffee while I get enough to get me to Inverness.

There's only 6x Tesla units in Inverness ... last time I was there 2 of them (3A and 3B) were out of service.

I've never had a problem in Inverness to be honest, other than last time the car dropped its charge while I was eating my cheese and onion omlette, without me realising, then I had to run back and reconnect it. I was worried I might get an overstay penalty but I didn't see an excessive debit from Tesla so somehow it worked out OK. Six is 50% more than four. I think there are only six in Fort William too, but I've always got one there. Even last time when two cars were charging on the wrong side and so blocking four bays. (Couldn't they at least have charged next to each other so only blocked one additional bay?)

Inverness is getting better, podpoints, cps chargers, and some in filling stations but Aviemore probably still has more
