Anyone who has an 80A HPWC who would be willing to allow me to use it on my monthly trips down through Southern Illinois, Eastern Missouri and ending in West Tennessee please let me know! I have two campsites along the way I have been using (one in Effingham, the other in Paducah) for 50A service, but 80A dual charging would cut off several hours of an already very long trip... and would be greatly appreciated.
I have two routes that I have used. HPWC 80A chargers along either route would be amazingly helpful.
Route 1: I can easily make the trip to St. Louis from the Normal IL SC. After that, though, I have to stay overnight and charge on a Chargepoint station. The trip from St. Louis to Dyersburg TN is about 225 miles - would be great to find an HPWC on that second leg to top off just for safety and peace of mind.
Normal -> St. Louis via I-55
St. Louis -> Sikeston -> Dyersburg TN via I-55 and I-155 (at Caruthersville MO)
Route 2: This is the shorter route, but requires 1-2 campground stays. No hotels with chargers nearby. I have made it from Effingham all the way to Dyersburg one a full charge in Effingham (overnight camping), but it is 245 miles and I have always ended up within a mile or 2 of zero, and on one occasion below zero! Not good for my heart, and impossible in winter or on rainy or windy days. So a second (shorter) stop in Paducah is required unless I want to risk getting stuck in West Tennessee or Kentucky, literally hundreds of miles from any flatbed towing service that could handle a Tesla. Any HPWC along this route would be very helpful... two spaced apart would make the drive downright pleasant!
Normal -> Champagne via I-74
Champagne -> Marion via I-57 (overnight in Effingham, unless I can find an HWPC)
Marion -> Paducah via I-24
Paducah -> Dyersburg via US45 and US51 (can also avoid the 70mph I-24 route, and cross the bridge at Cairo, IL and take US51 all the way in ... but I doubt there are any Tesla owners that way ... beautiful and more efficient drive though, so I usually go that way since I am cutting it so close and efficiency makes all the difference when there are no chargers!).
