Pacific NW - Superchargers

[Lyon]

I grew up in Eugene and my mom lives there (and aunts, cousins, etc). If you're in anything related to employment law you might have met her (she worked in Eugene some of her career, though worked for the AG in Salem for most of the later years), though she retired in January.

Consequently, the wife and I visit regularly.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that I have met her. I do Workers' Comp Law (among other things) and I grew up in Eugene. My father's also a lawyer and also grew up here. Have you talked your mom into installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet for you? If you need the name/number of a good electrician in Eugene I can hook you up with the guy who put mine in.

I'm sure we probably know (in the "heard of" sense) some of the same people.

The other big trip I want to make is Portland/Ashland, but I won't be coming back the same day on that. It's too far for one charge though, I'll have to hit a supercharger somewhere along the way.

Yeah, I know, I'm hoping to be able to do the topping off while I'm in Portland doing whatever it is I'm there for instead of on the road. For instance, when I come up for all-day CLE (continuing legal education) at the convention center I'm hoping to be able to use their chargers. Obviously, if I'm staying overnight it won't be a problem.

What kind of things bring you to folks to Eugene, if you don't mind my asking?

Don't forget Ducks football!

My kids live there with their mom. So, frequent trips. (The IT market dried up there, so I had to follow the "food source" northward.)

I wonder if we could convince Uncle Phil to put in some HPWC at Autzen... with preferred parking, of course.

Pretty common story unfortunately. I have a buddy who got married over the summer. His wife couldn't find a job in Eugene so they're now living apart until she can (she was able to find something in Portland).

Hmm, if the southern charger is at 7 feathers that's going to be just about perfect if you can manage to moderate your driving a little.

I think that the southern Oregon location looks to be farther north than Medford. I'm guessing the Grants Pass area or 7 Feathers Casino in Canyonville. There's already a 70amp Roadster HPC there and a few other EV chargers. I bet the Casino wouldn't mind the captive audience either. Oh, and it's RIGHT on the freeway.

I stand out-guessed. Your's is better.

I believe the 7 Feathers Resort has RV hookups. It might be worthwhile to call and see if they have a special rate for car charging.

I read at Tesla Motors site that representative at the Bellevue store stated that one of the Supercharger stations will be in Centralia, WA.
Close to perfect placement for me. Those small towns needed a good shot in the arm anyway.

makes sense, but also not close to where the red dot is on their map, guess those dots were pretty made up

Just noticed this nice place has ev-charging Green Springs Inn
