    Lots of new data at supercharge.info

    Thanks again to everyone who posted feedback here. The latest supercharge.info release is out, and I think we're handling NACS better now. We've added a few other goodies like text search as well. :)

    Continuing our Syracuse/Watertown-Niagara-Pittsburgh trip. The Falls were stunning; we had two near-perfect-weather days. We're now settled in Pittsburgh, catching up with old CMU friends and our daughter at Pitt. Probably no more new chargers on this trip unless we get a surprise opening along...

    We drove up to Syracuse to visit our son and brought him with us for an afternoon of eclipse hunting. Tricky with the cloud cover, so we played it by ear, and it turned out the Watertown NY supercharger / Salmon Run Mall was a pretty good place to see it -- almost exactly on the center line of...

    Lots of new data at supercharge.info

    Some interesting questions as we try to get this right on supercharge.info: Are we aware of anyone who has tried charging a non-Tesla (CCS) vehicle at a MagicDock location using their own NACS-CCS adapter? (A quick search of TMC didn't uncover anything but I could certainly be missing it.) Or...

    Lots of new data at supercharge.info

    We've already updated our code to call the plugs at V2 stalls "Tesla" so that'll be in the next release (coming soon!). Adding another "open to" option would be possible but not easy, since it's currently just a true/false value. We'll have to think about / discuss this one further...

    Lots of new data at supercharge.info

    Right now there's no magic data source; editors have just been sweeping through sites and filling in the info they know or can find. If you have a structured data set you're willing to share, please let me know. :) I think I understand what you're requesting, and I've recorded it here...

    Lots of new data at supercharge.info

    I see one, so it was probably entered some time between when you posted and midnight April 2. Maybe a bit surprising to only have one, given the rate things have been changing lately, but not impossible. :)

    Lots of new data at supercharge.info

    We already have a flag and filter for other EV, labeled "Vehicles" -- but the data is very much in flux right now, at least in North America, as NACS adoption ramps up. We're doing what we can to keep up. More searching and filtering capabilities are coming soon as well. Fixed, thanks for flagging.

    Planned 24 stall Tesla Supercharger in New Kent County, VA (Exit 211 on I64)

    For what it's worth, this is a great example of a site that merits a "Plan" pin. It'll look like this with the upcoming changes on supercharge.info:

    I experienced my first Hertz Tesla rental this week at FLL (and my first supercharging session in a rental, to keep this relevant to the thread). The first car I got (M3) was at 98%, and the agent told me the fee won't apply if you bring it back within 5% of the original level, so I guess I...

    Color-coding locations on the supercharge.info map between V1, V2 and V3 superchargers (versus just a red dot)

    Color-coding locations on the supercharge.info map between V1, V2 and V3 superchargers (versus just a red dot)

    The in-car map offers a basic filter of 1, 2, or 3 lightning bolts -- roughly, I think 1 bolt = urban (72kW) superchargers and Level 2 chargers, 2 bolts = 73-150kW, 3 bolts = 151kW or more. It would definitely be possible, and reasonable, to make power level on supercharge.info into a...

    Dulles Airport EV Charging

    Yes, the Garage 2 chargers are J-1772 as well, but expect charging speeds similar to standard electrical outlets. I saw some chargers near the walkway (rows 3C+3D) but didn't take a close look. They seemed to be ICEd, and do NOT have the green ceiling lights in that area like they do in the...

    Dulles Airport EV Charging

    I was at Dulles yesterday morning for about an hour, parked in Garage 2, took a few photos, and updated the PlugShare entry accordingly. Yes, they're 120V/12A, so for most people taking a flight that is indeed perfect. The Dulles web site indicates 56 plugs total on the 3rd level of the garage...

    Another crummy trip to BWI, this time snow and icy roads instead of rush hour traffic. But with it came another chance to explore a local charger on my way home. Check-ins for 2024-01-15 - Chevy Chase, MD (#218)

    Dulles Airport EV Charging

    I haven't, but what I see on PlugShare for Garage 1 is a large number of Level 1 units, and someone did update the description. There's a close-up photo showing it labeled 120V 12A, and recent-ish check-ins show it busy but working. Data for Garage 2 is a bit less clear, and nobody has updated...

    Supercharger - Springfield, VA

    You can still visit a supercharger in Springfield VA, just not the original. The V3 replacement opened ~4 months ago and is literally in the same shopping center parking lot. During construction, people had speculated whether it would be an expansion or a replacement.

    Yes, my son plays trombone in the Syracuse band :D he had a great time and we enjoyed their performances. Between the two schools, there were nearly 500 band + guard students at the game.

    Supercharger - Clarks Summit, PA - Northern Blvd

    I found this thread via another discussion of charging along I-81 in the Kirkwood NY supercharger thread. I'm curious if anyone local to the Clarks Summit Sheetz that's under construction has gone by it lately and seen evidence of whether there will be charging. (I'm not local and probably won't...

    Supercharger - Kirkwood, NY

    It wasn't immediately clear from the Clarks Summit thread, but there's a new Sheetz under construction from scratch that's likely to replace the existing one just up the road a bit. The existing one doesn't seem to have enough extra parking to add chargers.

    Supercharger - Kirkwood, NY

    To be fair, 11/26 was the Sunday after Thanksgiving, one of the busiest travel days of the year. But I agree, it would be nice to see the I-81 corridor fill out with more superchargers. Cortland will eventually help for travelers continuing north beyond Binghamton, and Tully & Syracuse aren't...
