Florida to Minnesota via Montgomery and Birmingham

[Rick g]

Ive never used a Super Charger and am Taking this trip. My bigest questions are. If I arrive at a hotel that has a destination charger after 9pm, are the chargers most likely going to be already taken? Can anyone tell me if I arrive at the Birmingham or Montgomery Super Chargers at night are they in relatively safe areas??

I can’t speak from experience to the nighttime safety of the superchargers in Montgomery or Birmingham, but if you download the PlugShare app and search for those superchargers, and then click on the pin for the chargers, you will see two things: comments by users who have been there, and photos of the supercharger and surrounding area. That may give you some helpful info. They both look ok to me, but you can form your own view.

I don't usually stay at hotels with chargers--use AirBNB most of the time because Superchargers are so easy--but I have heard the suggestion that it's a good idea to call them and say that you plan on using one, and a lot of places will put out a cone or something to hold a spot for you. Might be worth trying.
