    Supercharger - Amarillo, Texas

    This SC in my opinion is not required that much, but I can be dead wrong. I guess it can help if your coming up from Midland, but here is still large gaps from South Texas to get here. From Shamrock to Tucumari, NM is no problem. I drove 70 mph the entire way, you should slow to 65 mph in...

    Supercharger - Albuquerque NM

    I just called them today and tried make an appointment, hope this works out. Of all the long legs, this has to be the largest GAP and in really hot weather. Just got the call back and it because of permitting and utility. No clue when it will be on-line. There is no way to make an appointment...

    Supercharger — Tallahassee, FL

    Larry I drove 60mph for the first hour, then increased to 65mph for the 2nd hour. The last hour I was between 70-75mph. I figure 65mph the entire will be fine. I always have my AC at 67. This is also with 2 adults, 2 kids, let say 350 lbs. I also have about 300 lbs. in boxes.

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    wow and I thought this would come through. I was on this route July 14, went from Virginia to Atlanta. This last leg was long, left Springfield, Virgina at 4:15am and arrived Decatur SC around 7:30pm. Got caught in rain storm after dinner and had to pay $5 for Uber to drive me 0.5 miles.

    Supercharger — Tallahassee, FL

    I really could have used this. I started off driving 60 mph. I left with 246 miles and arrived with 10 miles. I took 15 minutes to use the bathroom at the Dollar General Store right off the exit. The time is not 100% accurate. Cant upload pix from this hotel PC. Traveled 224.6 miles, 63.7kWh...

    Showroom coming to Seaside (Monterey area) and possibly a Supercharger

    I really wish all Tesla and EV chargers were kind and gracious. When I was on Montreal, which only has 2 SC stalls. The mid 30s guys left his car there. When I spoke to him while he was trying to pretend to be in a rush, he said he had a doctors appointment. UMMMMMMMMMMMM

    Wow Phoster you did all this alone, that is really tiring or a lot of time. All my coast to coast trips took about 3-14 days, depends if I had the family or not.

    HI Phoster, congrats and welcome to the SC Century Club. More respect when you do it mostly alone just as I did. My latest trips are with my wife and 4 and 2 yrs old boys, but I do 99% of the driving. I have been skipping charges because they are out of the way. I will eventually get back to...

    Supercharger - Brattleboro, VT

    It adds 300 lbs of weight right? Also with the SC networking growing so fast, I am still holding out. Last night I charged at 40A on a Tesla HPWC for 3 hours in Barnard, VT. Almost wished I had the twins with me, but a few hours cant hurt.

    Supercharger - St. Charles, MO

    I just visited this charger a few days, it is open. Its 204 miles from Independence. I did charge in Columbia, MO in case it was not open. Its across the street from Smash Burger. When you turn right on the exit, go to end of the plaza on your right side. Its on your right ride. Turn right into...

    Hi Bighorn, I always play fair so its totally your decision to disclose. Not going to twist your arm. That rate is definitely better, is that a private lease?

    thanks Cottonwood, I will probably end the year at 102 or 103 depending any new ones. I tell you that stretch from Normal, IL to Salina, KS was tough. Charged 2 times at Nissan for a total of 15 hours each 5 hours on a rigged up Nema 14-50 from plugshare. I would have saved 5-8 hours if I meet...

    Supercharger - Topeka, KS

    I could use this today. I am in Columbia, MO charging at Joe Machens Nissan, been here since 4am. If I could skip Kansas City and go straight to Topeka, that would save me 5-8 of charging on a 30Amp for the 3rd time.

I arrived Yuma with 40 miles left. The first 75 miles of this leg there is a lot of incline. For peace of mind, I do suggest...

    thanks so much for the info, I have charged on NEMA 5-20 before, I do agree, when on a long trip its no problem. I just wanted to know my options. I would more likely try to find a Nissan or other car dealer to would let me charged, I have had 100% with Nissan and Chevrolet so far.
