Today I ventured to the furthest supercharger from my house, north and east (near the Maine border) in North Conway, NH. This route mostly is not on an interstate, so the 108 miles took a bit over two hours to get there. Moreso than any of my other trips on this quest, today resembled more closely what a typical leg might be like on a longer roadtrip, at least with respect to time (two hours) if not mileage. I left my home with a charge of 75%, and arrived at the station with 25% remaining. Two hours on an interstate, driving 75-80 mph, would have drained more battery.
From the app: 250kW,
8 superchargers, with food, shopping, and restrooms.
The superchargers are in a Hannaford Supermarkets parking
lot. While people flock to North Conway
for food and shopping, this supercharger site had no places to eat within
eyesight of the stalls, other than the supermarket. I did notice an Applebees and a Chipotle
close to the turn into Hannaford, but there is not much that would be a
quick/easy walk from the chargers. I did
use the restroom in the store. From a
standpoint of amenities at the supercharger site, this was pretty ordinary.
Once again I was by myself here, no other Teslas came to charge during my visit. This was true despite the fact that the town was bustling. I’m impressed that Tesla installed these 250 kW chargers in a bit of an out-of-the-way spot.
Good trip, and this would definitely be a handy supercharger
site for those traveling up into Maine, or NH ski country, using back roads and away from the main interstates!
