I got a late start today, so decided to do the closer/easier of my two remaining supercharger stops. Today my wife joined me as we visited the NB Hooksett rest area station right off of I-93.
From the app: 150kW,
10 superchargers, with food, coffee, and restrooms.
Not surprisingly, this was mostly a clone of the SB Hooksett
rest area station reviewed previously.
However, one neat little difference is that at this northbound station,
there is a separate shack for the apple cider donuts, and we were able to watch
them make a fresh batch of donuts. We
got two hot donuts right after they were made, and they were delicious.
This was by far the busiest station I have visited on my quest here in NH. It is a holiday weekend, plus MA and NY schools are on vacation. When we first pulled up, five of the ten stalls were occupied. Since these were 150kW chargers, I knew that whatever stall I pulled in to, I would be splitting the charge with one of the other cars. I did not have an urgent need to charge, so I skipped it while we went and got the donuts. After, there were only 3 cars charging, so I went and hooked up for a quick charge. Obviously if I was on a road trip and needed to charge, I would have done so, but today I was over 50%, so easily could have skipped it.
As a rest area, there are lots of bathrooms here. Also, as with the SB stop, they have a general store and a Common Man to-go restaurant, so the amenities are good—my wife and I agree this rest stop is nicer than most others we have visited in our travels.
