Be careful of depending on Chademo at Cracker Barrel . Many are inoperative and CB seems to have no interest in repairing them.

Thanks. That's 4 miles from the in-laws. I will be checking it out in about two months.
Probably because they do not belong to CB. Most are provided on CB property but actually belong to ChargePoint or Blink.

This is a Blink issue not Cracker Barrel. When Nissan moved its headquarters to Nashville Cracker Barrel stepped up as a good Tennessee Corporation and assisted in locating the Blink chargers at their stores. I read that Nissan subsidized Blink to build this network for Nissan Leaf. In return Cracker Barrel got incredible headaches because the chargers are poorly located, constantly Iced and mostly inoperable. For over a year I have been using these Chademo chargers and found them less than 50% operable and Blink is entirely unresponsive. I found the Cracker Barrel managers frustrated by this.

I love Cracker Barrel, but they didn't sign up out of the goodness of their hearts. They signed up for "green credit" and good publicity.

Having non-working Blink charging stations does not equal good publicity. Blink stations are unreliable in Tennessee. Are there any reliable Chademode chargers in Tennessee?
I found some of the EVGO chargers to be reliable but very expensive and I think only in Nashville. These are the ones that are now free for 2 years to new Leaf owners. I have always found one of the two Chademo chargers to work at Cracker Barrel except Lebanon (has'nt worked for almost two years), Campbell Station Rd in Knoxville (Screen faces into sun and can't be read and often won't work anyway), Cleveland TN has only had both inoperative on two occasions. One has always worked at Crossville, Rockwood, South Pittsburg, Murfreesboro, Mt Juliet and Nashville I-40 about exit 220 Bell Rd? I have tried every one except Cookeville over the past 18 months. I used the Blink Chademo in Chattanooga at the Sears store last year and one side worked but visited two more times and it did not work.

I tried it from work and home last night, it wasn't there then but it is now.
Knoxville Supercharger | Tesla Motors
Now I still don't see it changed on the main supercharger map on the website but that might be my proxy at work caching the old map.
The map currently shows the Nashville supercharger (which is planned but doesn't exist) in red and Knoxville in "coming soon" gray.
I suspect that it is a geography problem ;p

Can someone change the name of this thread from "Knoxville Supercharger - where" to "Knoxville Supercharger - there"
