Hooksett (SB I-93)--> Monday 1 January 2024



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!

ALL the NH Tesla Superchargers--> Friday 22 December 2023

Exactly one week ago today, I took delivery of Sparky, my new Tesla Model Y Long Range.  I’m looking forward to taking her on some long road...
