    Icon14 Supercharging in Texas

    Looks like Superchargers will show up sometime halfway between Austin, Houston and Dallas.

    Thanks, Babylon - this is awesome.

    Now if Tesla would tell us when these are happening within the next two years, we'll be all set. There's still a gap to El Paso, but this will make travel to Houston, Dallas and Galveston.

    I also wonder if Tesla will also have Supercharger capability at its galleries (i.e. Houston Galleria)?

    My question is where do you select the flotation (or submersible) option so you can follow the brown line?
    Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from a rigged demonstration.

    Yea, maybe I should have removed the line in the water!

    Anyone travel between Dallas and Houston? If I lived in the cities or north of Houston or South of Dallas, I wouldn't mind. But the S will not make it from McKinney to League City - and I will need to scam some electrons along the way. I see there is a Level 2 at Sam Houston State ... but anyone know of any else? Somewhere mid way? Buc-ee's?

    - obviously this is before the supercharger station goes in ...

    Your fastest level 2 charge spots are usually RV 50A outlets in Texas. Not as nice as hanging out near a coffee shop but you get 40A instead of the 30A at most public chargers.

    What about the EVGo? I hear they have 480v DC fast chargers - one in Lancaster and one in Spring. A little close to the city(ies), but I may be able to stretch it.

    Right now you can't use non-supercharger (Tesla ones) DC charging for the Model S yet.

    I see ... seems that EVGonetwork.com is certainly headed that way.
