Supercharger - Cheyenne, WY

[PLUS EV]

Stayed overnight in Lusk in late June. What a great place - the Covered Wagon (location of the Superchargers and motel). On our trip we stayed at over 22 places and this was by far the best. Outstanding breakfast layout (during Pandemic) and furnishings were top notch with a homey feel.
But for us it wasn't a detour for the SC as we were heading toward Rapid City from Denver and wanted to skirt the corner of Nebraska to say we'd been there. Charged in the morning during breakfast and were off.

Curious if you went to Henry, NE. Eyeballing it, it looks like the most optimal route to get both Nebraska and Lusk on that trip.

This portion of my trip started in Colorado Springs, up Pikes Peak and then on to Lusk for overnight - next morning to Rapid City via Custer, Crazy Horse, Mt Rushmore, Badlands, Wall, then Rapid City for overnight. Closest to Henry was Lingle which is just SE of Laramie where the turn north went to Lusk. Busy 2nd day. The M3 did a lot of dirt roads, but scenic.

Charged in Cheyenne, Wheatland, Lusk (next morning charge), Custer, Wall. Pikes Peak climb (approx 8,000 ft) only cost 11 miles with regen.

Your net loss going up Pike's peak was only 11 miles?

Yes with regen coming down. I'm guessing 8000 ft climb as I started and finished around 6000 ft at base in Manitou Springs. Sat at entrance for about 1/2 hour for opening, but that didn't use much power - First car out (they only allowed about a dozen due to work up top). Everyone else that day were only allowed partially up and then shuttled by van to the top.

I drove Pikes Peak a few years ago and gained 25 miles from regen on the way down. I don't recall the net change from the round trip.

Stopped at this supercharger today. This one takes the prize for most inconvenient to get to, and also for badly implemented. It's late Saturday afternoon, the mall is packed, of course there's a car blocking that last unmarked/unpainted spot. Whoever thought they were done with this one - they're not, we're still waiting for that last spot to be painted/signed.

Have you been to St George, UT?

Have you been to St George, UT?

Funny you should mention it - I was at that one just 2 days previously. Yes, it's certainly also out of the way. Only a dozen or so stop lights away from the interstate - yuck. There is a nice self serve car wash near there that I availed myself of.

Have you been to St George, UT?

Yeah.... but spectacular sunsets.

I was at the Cheyenne Supercharger last Friday (May 28, 2021), and not only was it down to 2 working stalls, but it didn’t show up as available originally in the nav. When I selected it as my destination, it gave me a red circle with a bar through it and said reduced service.

I know it's Wyoming, but given that Cheyenne is at the intersection of 2 major interstates, you'd think they would upgrade this site soon, or better yet, build a new one that is closer to I-25. Even Butte has 6 stalls. Fargo and Sioux Falls have 8 each!

An 8 stall V3 would be great at Little America.
