Today is supposed to be a busy travel day, so I headed out at sunrise to one of the shorter trips of my quest, to the SB Hooksett rest area station right off of I-93.
From the app: 150kW, 12
superchargers, with food, coffee, and restrooms.
This supercharger is the first one I have visited that is
incorporated into a rest area, in the short section of I-93 between Manchester
and Concord, where a toll is charged. Since
this is a rest area, the restrooms here are public, so no guilt in using
them. The restaurant inside is a deli
run by The Common Man, which is a local New Hampshire eatery with several
popular restaurants in the state. Nice
change of pace from a fast food franchise.
They even had a little Apple Cider Donut shop, a local delicacy, so I
had to get a donut, and it was excellent.
I’m not sure if I have ever stopped at this rest area before.
Also at this spot is a “General Store”, and a NH liquor
store outlet (I’m not sure who decided putting a liquor store on the highway
was a good idea, but there it is.)
I charged up in one of the middle stalls, and Sparky had no
friends at this large bank of 12 superchargers.
Super convenient with respect to getting on and off the highway (clearly
preferable from that perspective to the Manchester station reviewed last
week.) Only bummer is that they are
150kW. Otherwise, I liked this station
more than I expected!
