Doesn't really matter, but that's one location that contains multiple chargers.
Of course, very few people that live in Greater Manchester would use a really fast charger like those there whilst in Greater Manchester. Maybe if you're a taxi driver, or caught short somehow? This is the confusion I was talking about.

It's still one location. If I live in Trafford is easily a 45 minute drive, much worse at peak times.

Because obviously we all have driveways and we can leave the car there overnight. Fuck 'em terraces scum. /s

Like many UK EV owners I don't have a driveway either and use a lamp post charger overnight.

Good for you, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a lamppost for every car out there.

Luckily not every car needs charging every day, plus there are extender bollards for the gaps
Well, or they went to https://ionity.eu/en/network/network-status or https://www.zap-map.com/live/ looked at Manchester and it listed only one Ionity charger, "Manchester East".
