Yeah, the picture shows 3 stalls, the gap, then 4 more stalls. (Not 4 and 3 as shown in the plans.)

More progress: two pallets of four chargers each, with associated cabinets. There's a puzzling gap between them. I'm just guessing the light pole has something to do with it. Also looks like the wiring to the pedestals is missing, assuming the holes in the concrete pallets are there for that...

As soon as I saw you in New Zealand, I knew my Leader status in Asia-Pacific was doomed. For a fun time, try the run from Ovens VIC to Cooma NSW. Be sure to charge up - there's a lot of elevation gain.

Are you going to make it to Custer this year?

Gonna try to sneak over to Lana'i and pick up the private charger there?

Some pics at the new Johnstown CO Buc-ee's grand opening, where three of us got firsts today. 12 stalls powered up today, but the electrical cabinet has plastic tubes installed for another 8. From right to left, a SC maintenance guy, the guy who woke up at midnight to mark the SC "open" in...

My new Model S is the third Tesla in your picture.

Check-ins for 2024-03-11 - Brenham, TX (#2221) (First to check-in) - Sealy, TX (#2222) - Sugar Land, TX (#2223) Notice that your check-ins don't have (#xxxx) after them, suggesting that you are somehow not connected to the supercharger.life database correctly.

Here it is as of 26-Feb. There are 12 chargers set up so far. I don't understand the wiring I see here. It looks like there are wires enough for six charging cabinets, but there are only 3 cabinets installed for the 12 chargers. And there is sealed-off piping for four more cabinets...

Colorado's first Buc-ee's opens on March 18. Should we get together and christen the Supercharger? I figure noon, to give a few of the more scattered CO participants time to get there from the four corners of the state. --- Colorado’s first Buc-ee’s has an opening date

A little late reporting in on my latest supercharger expedition, but I had another hip replaced 2 days after I got back, so I've been a bit ... distracted. Trip statistics: Days on road: 23 Miles driven: 7533 Energy used: 2.497MWh (331 Wh/mi) New chargers visited: 172 Most chargers in one day...

Oops. Yes I do. 🤣 The days are just blurring together. Let's see if I can get THIS one right. @vanjwilson at the downtown Charlotte SC. Nice view from up there. Yup. I'm getting sloppy. Time to head home. I actually charged a second time there to get a night sky picture. Two firsts coming up...

Here's my last week's efforts. Check-ins for 2024-01-31 - Freetown, MA (#1318) - Seekonk, MA (#1319) - Warwick, RI (#1320) - Warwick - Division St, RI (#1321) - Richmond, RI (#1322) - Mystic, CT (#1323) - East Haven, CT (#1324) - New Haven, CT (#1325) - Fairfield, CT (#1326) - Yonkers - Central...

Ran a ring around D.C. a couple of days ago, and enjoyed a brief visit with Julius (tes-s) down at the Fairfield SC. He warned me of the horrors of trying to get across the bridge to the east, which turned out to be entirely accurate.

Small-town got nothing to do with it. Nobody can clear California. It is the modern example of a Sisyphusian task. Clear the LA area, drive north, and there are two new ones in the south before you're done with SFO.

Here's recent Check-ins. I did get one charger in Maine (to complete the 49 state badge), but decided to stop driving thru the blizzard for the evening and thus no Bangor Meetup. tes-s was cyber stalking me on life360 and correctly guessed I'd be coming thru his territory in CT, so we had a...

Salem, IL (#1262) (First to check-in) It's still not on the screen map, but it works!

Columbia - Clark Ln, MO (#1260) (First to check-in) Set your charge limit to 100% and dodge traffic across the street to the China Garden - buffet, sushi, and koi pond. Or walk a bit farther for Hooters. There's BBQ right there in the parking lot, but when I walked in they said they were out of...

Darn - if I had known you were so close I'd have stopped by when I was there last month. My girlfriend's daughter performs with Cirque du Soliel, so a bunch of us dropped by to see her perform. Had dinner with @ThisIsTrue and his wife, who have this view of The Sphere out their back window:

Yeah, 17 chargers in the DC area I need to get, probably around Feb 4-5.

Depending on weather, hoping to do the I-70 route going east, then coming back thru Atlanta (ick) and west. Is there a tool that can look at my map and plan a route thru my unvisited sites?

Yup. Going to pick up my girlfriend at CLT airport, probably 4-Feb. I have at least 4 SC targets near there (for some values of ("near"). Are you north, south, east, west, or right downtown?

I'm going to take a ride to South Carolina from Denver to visit my granddaughter for her first birthday. Of course I will veer off the straight and narrow to traverse however much of New England I can harvest SCs at. Anyone I should say hi to as I pass by? Any must-see sights?

I had some thoughts on that, but I was not above driving around Australia for two weeks picking up chargers. And it pushes me towards using SC gathering as an excuse to see more of the world.

Quick - go see the show in The Sphere.

I had to do some digging to get more details. That basin encloses the Animas Valley, western border about at the AZ-NM divide, eastern border less clear but obviously west of the Rio Grande, northern border at the Lordsburg Mesa. The section of I-10 between Lordsburg and Deming seems to reside...

Ah, Wilsonville... I lived there for a few years in a previous millennium. The SC is walking distance from where I used to work - Tektronix (now Xerox).

Yeah, my aunt and uncle lived in Indiana Pennsylvania.

Agreed, Chuy's has good food and good service. We got in and out on a 10%-90% charge without a squatter penalty.

a.deodatus and I pulled up at Northglen almost simultaneously. The pull-thru station is a great idea. Trivia: the Denver Electric Vehicle Club has their Christmas lunch at Cinzetti's restaurant, just across the parking lot.

Good luck. You got 9 hours. If not, see you in the Chicago area this weekend.

Prairie du Chien WI is still green after almost two weeks. Not for long - fair warning. Don't we have any mid-west based fanatical contestants?

Marshall MN has been unvisited for two weeks now. I guess it's just a little off the beaten path. Drop by and get a co-first any time in the next 10 hours.

Wow, you're the 7th person I know that's been in Ireland just in the last couple of weeks.

No invoice, but I get free supercharging. It's finally shown up on the nav screen though.

Check-ins for 2023-06-30 - Boulder - 28th St, CO (#1176) (First to check-in) Just noticed this one. Since I needed to come to Boulder anyway... Still 8 hours for interested parties to get a CO-first. There's a touchless car wash and detailing shop here:

I'm not sure (and can't read the numbers on my picture to confirm), but -- I do know that there's one station isolated on the other side of that lane that might be partnered with the three we see in the picture.

Odd. I charged there on 6/27, it's been two days and it still hasn't shown up on the nav map. Four of the stations are mommy wrapped.

Check-ins for 2023-06-27 - Denver - Tower Rd, CO (#1175) (First to check-in) Well, it's not on the car map yet, but it delivers electrons. Note that it's called "5940 Tower Rd" in supercharge.info, which is important because 6691 Tower Rd is coming online soon (looks about a month out). Four...

Had a nice little 11 day trip starting with a meeting in Flagstaff, then cleared Arizona, some California, a side trip to see my friend's daughter perform in a show in Vegas, then Death Valley, more California, then back to Colorado. Recorded a milestone of sorts at 4-1/2 years in the M3P...

Check-ins for 2023-06-07 - Parachute, CO (#1103) - Moab - N Main St, UT (#1104) Check-ins for 2023-06-08 - Flagstaff - Hwy 89, AZ (#1105) I'm at Lowell Observatory for an advisory board meeting. There's a J1772 charger at the Desert Rose Inn in Bluff UT, 215 miles from the new Flagstaff SC...

Signature Red (serial number 27):

On a bicycle maybe. It'll be 6.5 hours including charging unless there's a line in Lusk.

Yes ma'am. See you about 3:00 Friday. After you passed me on the list, I thought about driving to Texas (my nearest unconquered SCs) to take it back, but figured you'd be getting them faster than I could catch up on the way to Custer.

Everyone drives thru, but nobody stops to say hi. Sniff. Westminster is bicycling distance from my house.
