The future of charging at UK motorway services. 34 EV bays (& lower price Tesla V4 Superchargers)

In this video, I look at the electric vehicle chargers at the Moto Services on the M4 Westbound near Reading, UK. At this site now, there are 34 EV charging bays with 30 DC rapid chargers (with both CCS and Chademo) and two 22kW AC chargers.
This week, Tesla opened their new V4 Superchargers at this site. These have a contactless payment terminal on each unit and longer cables and are also open to non-Tesla – so open to all CCS2 charging EVs.
However, what makes this site unique (or at least the first in the UK), is that the Tesla Superchargers are open to non-Tesla and right next to another network. So this means you have Tesla and Gridserve chargers next to each other, but with a 20p per kWh difference in pricing. But also 30p cheaper than the BP Pulse chargers at the petrol station within these services.
Will this start a price war and will we see price reductions on the GridServe and BP networks?
