Rapid EV chargers on the M1: up to 250 kW

Three M1 stops carry rapid charging in our data. Welcome Break Woodall and Rotherham both have Tesla at up to 250 kW, open to any make, and Leicester Forest East has GRIDSERVE. We hold no power rating for the GRIDSERVE site. The Jornee app shows live availability per stop where the operator publishes it.

Charging on the M1 is thinner in our data than the motorway's reputation suggests: three of the twelve stops we track carry a network. Welcome Break Woodall, near Sheffield, and Rotherham at J33 both run Tesla at up to 250 kW and are open to any make. Leicester Forest East runs GRIDSERVE, and we hold no power figure for it. What the other nine sites carry is not something we record, so we do not guess. Prices vary by network and tariff, so check the operator's ad-hoc rate before you pull in.

What each M1 service area has

We hold twelve stops on the M1 and record what each one offers rather than who runs it. Eleven have toilets, eight have HGV parking, eight have showers and six are open 24 hours. Markfield is the one stop we hold no facilities for. Operator names reach our data only where they are part of the site name.

The table lists every M1 stop we hold, what it charges at and what facilities we have recorded. Toilets are near-universal, on eleven of the twelve. HGV parking and showers each cover eight, and six sites are open around the clock. Three names carry their operator because the site is named that way: Welcome Break Woodall, Moto Donington Park and Moto Woolley Edge. For the rest we record no operator, and we record the food outlets at none of them, so you will not find a brand line-up here.

HGV parking and truckstops on the M1

Eight of the twelve M1 stops we hold have HGV parking: London Gateway, Toddington, Northampton, Watford Gap, Moto Donington Park, Tibshelf, Welcome Break Woodall and Moto Woolley Edge. Four of those are also open 24 hours. We record no bay counts, rates, or whether a site is secured.

The M1 is one of Britain's busiest freight corridors, and eight of the twelve stops we hold on it have HGV parking: London Gateway, Toddington, Northampton, Watford Gap, Moto Donington Park, Tibshelf, Welcome Break Woodall and Moto Woolley Edge. For an overnight, the ones that pair HGV parking with 24-hour opening are London Gateway, Northampton, Watford Gap and Tibshelf. Bay counts, overnight rates and whether a site is fenced or patrolled are not in our data, so check with the operator before you commit to a particular stop.

Frequently asked questions

What service stations are on the M1 motorway?
We hold twelve stops on the M1. South to north they are London Gateway, Toddington, Northampton (J15A), Watford Gap, Leicester Forest East, Markfield (J22), Moto Donington Park (J23A), Trowell, Tibshelf, Welcome Break Woodall, Rotherham (J33) and Moto Woolley Edge. Junction numbers for the other eight are not in our data.
How long is the M1 and how many junctions does it have?
The M1 runs about 193 miles from London (J1 at Staples Corner) to the A1(M) near Aberford in Leeds (J48). Opened in 1959, it was Britain's first inter-urban motorway, and it links London, the East Midlands and West Yorkshire, meeting the M25, M6, M18 and M62 along the way.
Where can I rapid-charge an EV on the M1?
Three M1 stops carry rapid charging in our data. Welcome Break Woodall near Sheffield and Rotherham at J33 both have Tesla at up to 250 kW, open to any make. Leicester Forest East has GRIDSERVE, and we hold no power rating for it. The other nine stops we track have no charging network recorded, so we cannot tell you what they carry.
Which are the best M1 stops for a long drive?
For a long drive the useful stops are the ones that pair toilets and HGV parking with showers and 24-hour opening. On the M1 exactly three do: London Gateway at the southern end, Watford Gap in the middle and Tibshelf further north. Welcome Break Woodall adds Tesla charging at up to 250 kW, though it is not recorded as open 24 hours.
Where can I park a lorry overnight on the M1?
Eight of the twelve M1 stops we hold have HGV parking. The four that pair it with 24-hour opening are London Gateway, Northampton, Watford Gap and Tibshelf. We record no bay counts, overnight rates, or whether a site is fenced or patrolled, so check with the operator before you commit.
Which M1 stops have showers?
Eight of the twelve M1 stops we hold have showers: London Gateway, Toddington, Watford Gap, Moto Donington Park, Trowell, Tibshelf, Welcome Break Woodall and Moto Woolley Edge. Whether a shower costs extra, and what hours it keeps, is not something we record.
What food is at M1 services?
We do not record food outlets, so we cannot tell you what is at each M1 stop. What we do hold is toilets at eleven of the twelve, showers at eight, HGV parking at eight and 24-hour opening at six. For the brand line-up at a particular site, check the operator's own page before you plan around it.
