Exclusive for "Cape" traffic. How about that? Not to take anything away from more being better, but this one would be far down the priority list, for MA. More destination, than waypoint. At least it could be the start of something bigger, and may show that holding out, because of some secret CCS pact, isn't what we're seeing. I was giving bigger probability to the idea he was waiting out the ZEV MOU, and fast charger news, and would eventually drop some $1,000 adapters on New Englanders.

Afterall, Tesla was in the news last week, talking up infrastructure with BMW:
Tesla, BMW executives meet to discuss electric car expansion - Newsday
 
That lot looks huge, why I bet they could even put a service center on that property someday...
Or at least a "Tesla Mini-Mart" :)

It is going to be on it's on separate leased property with its own driveway. No worries about getting ICED here (I would hope so anyway). I think this could be a potentially good spot for a future solar panel canopy due to the amount of available space. For now it will just be the 8 stalls in an open lot.

Reactions: Cape Coddess
We are thinking of bringing the family (myself, wife + 4 kids) to vacation in the Cape Cod area around the second week of August with the Model S.

The first leg of the trip (Montreal - Albany SC) is confirmed feasible (thanks Zax123!). Given the dearth of rapid charging options in Vermont and Maine the SC in Sagamore would be extremely useful for us, avoiding a detour south to the East Greenwich SC.

It would be a first visit to that region for us. Still looking for lodging, given we do not know the area we will likely wind up going to a resort. Friends have recommended the Red Jacket group, still have to check with them with regards to destination charging options (in case the SC is not yet online).

Any suggestions from locals for an EV family with young kids (places to go or to avoid, things to see, functional charging stations) would be greatly appreciated !

Keep the pictures coming !

No need to detour to RI -

Albany->Sagamore - 220mi
Albany->Tesla Store, Natick Mall - 160 mi
Tesla Store, Natick Mall->Sagamore - 70 mi
 
It will only be an extra 34 miles to route through East Greenwich RI Supercharger from Albany. I do not personally believe the Sagamore supercharger will be ready in time for your trip.

I would recommend staying and/or spending extended time in that Hyannis/Rt. 132 area at the beginning and end of your trip just for charging. There are eight free J1772 chargers in the Hyannis area at four locations (I have tested 3 of the locations within the last month and the other looked functional). There are also two chargepoint locations with a total of four spots on Rt 132 in Hyannis. There are also two spots at the Nissan dealership. There is a camp ground with 50 amp charging listed in Eastham area. See plugshare.com for details on all of these sites.


Things to see:
Woods Hole (watch seal feeding and visit very small aquarium for kids) http://aquarium.nefsc.noaa.gov/ also has short ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard.

Send me a PM when you have your dates as I may be able to shuttle you somewhere fun while your car charges.
 
Thanks everyone for your comments!

Of all the chargers around the Hyannis area (or wider if applicable), which are the ones that provide the most power? Are there any 70A-80A units (I have twin chargers)?

That information is hard to find, Plugshare is hit and miss...

The free chargers are 30 amps and deliver 22 mph recharge rate. I have not tried the chargepoint stations but would expect the same. You'll be fine with a 10-12 hr charging session. Once you get fully charged, you would be able to do maintenance charging with a regular outlet at your resort.

Perhaps a kind Cape Cod HPWC owner not yet on plugshare will reach out to you privately.

Fingers crossed ! :wink:

Unfortunately there are no outlets that can be reached without an extension at my resort, according to the staff I talked to...
