Ashland--> Saturday 23 December 2023

Today, Sparky and I will start our quest to visit all the NH Superchargers by driving up to Ashland, NH.

From the app:  250kW, 8 superchargers, with food, restrooms, coffee, and wi-fi.

This supercharging station is set squarely in a Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot.  It is very convenient for travelers, just about 2 blocks off of the Interstate.  There were a few other eating options within a block or so of the Dunkin Donuts…I saw a Burger King and a gas station just a short jaunt from the superchargers.  An unexpected surprise was a picturesque cemetery right across the street.  Ashland is a nice little town, sort of on the edge between the White Mountains and the Lakes Region, though I did not explore today.  I picked up a coffee and used the restroom in the Dunks.  I’d feel guilty using a restroom without purchasing something, though am interested what the protocol is with this type of situation (yes, as the app says, a bathroom is available, however it is not public, but instead in a private restaurant.)  Perhaps Dunkin Donuts is willing to let Tesla chargers use the restroom knowing that some (but not all) will purchase something?

All in all a good spot, with the 250kW chargers, though not as flush with shopping/food options as others that I have been to.
