Amazes me no Supercharger on east side of Arkansas

The CCS adapter from Tesla should really help as well. So long as the CCS station(s) work.

I was curious when I read your statement, how widespread CCS was in Arkansas, so I checked PlugShare with filter set to CCS connector only.

I was shocked when I saw only 12 active locations, plus a 13th that just finished construction but is not online yet. About half of those are around Little Rock.

Even Oklahoma, which seems to be particular anti-EV, has noticeably more CCS stations than Arkansas (see screenshot).

Oklahoma is great for CCS.

Be sure you filter speed for 120kw+. A lot of the ones you're seeing are probably dealerships like Harley Davidson that have crap slow CCS.

...and Tesla has 7 active locations, correct? So 12-13 increases your possible charging locations by ~185%. Again, so long as one charger at those CCS locations work.

And is usefully quick. Of the six locations in Little Rock only one of them is over 100kw.

Quicker than being towed if you run out of juice?

Let's don't pretend that Tesla Superchargers charge at max rate all the time.

Why are you running out of juice?

Driving to a 25kw charger is not useful for any type of daily driving.

Start a thread for the new location and provide details like address, GPS coordinates, number of stalls and pictures of the installation. Once we have that information, an editor (myself or others) will add it.

Now that we know there is a Supercharger site showing up randomly in Hope do you think there are others in the works? Conway, Russellville, Harrison, Arkadelphia, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs?
