Current Largest Gap

[Xenoilphobe]

This is the largest gap I could find globally, Nur-Sultan Supercharger to Almaty Supercharger in Kazakhstan is about 1214 KM or 754 miles, within the same country.

Excuse me?! Come on! You can't just offhandedly throw out a nugget like that without elaborating. WHAT is coming online Real Soon?! There is no thread going yet for a Supercharger in construction there. And Electrify America doesn't show any coming soon thing there yet. I can't find a source for any kind of fast charging in progress in Ely, much less something that would be ready in some weeks. What exactly are you referring to, and do you have a source?

NOT a Supercharger, and NOT EA. It is being built at the Shell station near the intersection of US 6 and US 50.

When we drove across US 50 last fall, we had lunch at Cold Springs Station. Charged using his 14-50s while there. The owner of the place was very excited to be getting the charging site installed - especially since the State of Nevada was paying for it. He also has a large solar system on-site, so has a lot of power for it.

Oklahoma City, OK to Little Rock, AR - 349 miles from Supercharger to Supercharger.

This is an absurd distance without Supercharging for such a highly traveled interstate.

I wonder if the locals are giving tesla issues with getting it approved for install there.

There was a Supercharger scheduled for Henryetta, OK initially slated to be done by the end of 2017. Then each year thereafter by the end of that year. That would really help.

E A has units in Walmart’s along that route. A S with a CHAdeMO can travel here.

Honestly, one closer to Sallisaw would be better but Henryetta and Fort Smith both would make great additions...

It's interesting to note that there is currently only sporadic supercharger construction currently in progress except in California and (to a lesser extent) the east coast. supercharge.info

It seems that reducing supercharger overcrowding in Tesla strongholds is a higher priority than filling in gaps or establishing new routes, perhaps rightly so. Nevertheless, it's good to see recent completion of gap filling superchargers with Casper (Evansville), WY and along I-94.

California Camry be damned! I want my CO connection in Clayton, NM!

Yep, if they really are trying to fulfill their mission they'd focus more on midwest and south. So many people are taking truck/SUV trips because they can't currently do them on some routes. (ie I-29)

Yeah, this one seems like a no-brainer because it only involves building 1 new supercharger...

I wish there was a SC in Watertown. That 240 miles between Sioux Falls and Fargo is a problem.

Not necessarily a gap but it’d be great to get a V3 on the 130 east of Austin so one can avoid the whole ATX traffic mess as well as the often overloaded 8 stall on 35.

Sure, one could hit Waco, Italy or Burleson but often at non optimal charge level.

 

[HyperionMark]

Hopefully someone at Tesla is paying attention to this thread. Fingers crossed.

In Texas, I'd like to see one in Evant. It would fill a void for those of us who like to take 281 to the hill country instead of I35 thru Austin.

It's one of the CCS/CHAdeMO stations being added as part of the state of Nevada's Nevada Electric Highway program which is using some of the funds from the VW settlement to add charging stations along important highways. Thread discussing the map: Nevada Electric Highway map

This Ely CCS/CHAdeMO is a hot mess. Plenty of Plugshare checkins showing it doesn't work. This time that I drove from Baker, NV to Tonopah I decided to skip it as I didn't want to rely on something that hasn't really worked lately.

On another subject, I've yet to be able to charge Model 3 with the CHAdeMO adapter at several EA stations. They always error out and calling the support people on the phone and going through the motions of restarting, resetting, etc. never works. Is it just me?

Not interstate, but with the completion of the Trans-Canada highway and I-94, US-2 becomes the most prominent long-distance route (with the possible exception of the Alaska highway) lacking superchargers for thru-travel. The Mackinaw City supercharger is just beyond the eastern end (I'll ignore the New England segment here). Duluth has a supercharger. Spokane, Leavenworth, and Monroe (WA) have superchargers. US-2 sites listed are as "coming soon" (haha!) for Escanaba MI, Grand Forks ND, Shelby MT, and Kalispell MT. But it would take perhaps ~12 more sites to fill in between Spokane and Mackinaw. It will probably take a while, but will be a great route when it eventually happens!

That Escanaba charger is the one that I am waiting for. That one will let me get from Green Bay to Mackinaw more comfortably.

When the HELL is Tesla going to put a supercharger station between Tulsa, Oklahoma and Dallas, Texas? It’s a real 255 mile drive and nearly unreachable in cold weather. How can they keep delaying Henryetta AND Denison? Why is nobody doing anything about this Elon?

Not sure what Oklahoma has to do with my post about Nevada...

For Tulsa->Dallas, what about the Ardmore Supercharger?

Let's not forget the poor excuse for a SC location between Houston and DFW at Huntsville. Hidden and often ICEd.

But yes, Sherman, McAlester, and Henryetta would make great additions for DFW-Tulsa corridor. Lubbock is also a need.
