Tesla Motors Club

In very little time they managed to build an impressive network of DC quick chargers! When I got my Model S just over a year ago, they had 2 stations under construction. Today they have 58 stations across Los Angeles and Orange County. I have made it a point to test out as many as I can, and all of them are very well built and very reliable. No problems whatsoever. Almost 60 stations just in the greater Los Angeles area is really impressive! Their rates are very reasonable as well.

Everyone here praises Tesla for building the Superchargers, but when you actually look at what others, like nrg, are doing, you have to give them credit for being a lot more active than Tesla. I said in another thread here, considering the amount of money Tesla gets from each car that goes into the Supercharger budget, there should be at a least 600 stations in the US. I know a supercharger is a little more power than what nrg is doing per station. But I'm tired of hearing the excuses about it would be so hard to get permits and building and so on. It's nonsense, nrg had less time and built way more stations. There is proof that stations could be built much faster if Tesla wanted. More superchargers with less stalls would be better than less stations with lots of stalls.

Anyways, I'm just really impressed with nrg! This is what we need, lots of DC stations. L2 stations are only good for overnight or event parking. Everything else should be DC.
