Hey everyone!
I want to know how we go about requesting a supercharger station in Putnam County, specifically, Palatka, FL. It's a little more than half way between Gainesville, FL and St. Augustine, and for me, it would be SUCH a wonderful thing to have.
I have a 2014 Model S 60 with 165 miles of range at 90%. I live near Gainesville, FL, and when I travel to visit my mother-in-law in Crescent City, FL (16 miles south of Palatka - the county seat), if I don't charge up completely before I leave home, the 80 mile trip will make a quick turn around challenging. I currently charge at her place using a NEMA 14-30 connector. However, at 15 miles of charge per hour, I have to stay connected for almost 5 hours to comfortably make it home. Not that visiting with my mother-in-law for 5 hours is a bad thing, but when my wife wants to do a quick turn around (to head back home for a dinner date with friends, this actually happened), the range anxiety on the way home is crushing.
I only had 8 miles of range when I got back to the Gainesville supercharger. I charged for 15 minutes and was able to make it to our dinner date (albeit about 45 minutes late).
So, if any of you know to whom I can write a letter to inquire how we could get maybe an 8 stall supercharger in Palatka, that would be amazing!
Thanks so much!
