Wiki Largest gaps between Superchargers on US Interstates

Supercharger - Billings, MT - N. Frontage Rd. (LIVE 23 Aug 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

Thanks to Marco sharing the Town Pump/Tesla agreement locations and @PLUS EV sharing them here, have been able to do some digging. Permit has been issued for 12 Prefab V3 (3 PSU) at the Pilot at 2711 N Frontage Road. They will be directly north of the northern most point of the building...

Pathetic Splitter! On I-90 Billings - N Frontage Rd, MT splits 136.2 miles, 13.1 miles from Billings, MT, 123.8 miles to Sheridan, WY.
It's currently the 12th largest Interstate gap.
If it were to magically open today the reduced 123.8 mile gap to Sheridan, WY would be the 24th largest gap.

The location is a Town Pump, with which Tesla has made an agreement to add at least 6 locations (including another splitter) which will allow them significantly to improve Montana Supercharging.

But now that all this data exists, maybe there is another important way to slice and dice the numbers.
Let's say you are going from A to B to C and the Supercharger at B is closed for some reason. Maybe we would call this an unsplitter. It would be interesting to know the list of the most critical unsplitter Superchargers on a route. This also makes some of the so-called pathetic splitters actually very important, because one of these just 22 miles from point B makes the point B charger not so critical anymore.

Note: A closed Supercharger happened to me last summer. It was actually noted on the map as closed for maintenance something like 9am - 3pm. However I didn't see it since I was out of cell range in a Natl park when I entered the route. And when the cell connection comes back you don't get a noticeable warning. I actually arrived at the SC at about 2:45pm and a Tesla tech was sitting in his van, waiting for the power company to turn the power back on and he'd been done for over an hour just waiting. It actually didn't affect my trip, but would have if it was a critical unsplitter.

Thes are the largest distances and the splitter of that gap. It includes Permit and Construction locations as well.

It's telling that Oklahoma appears 4 times in that list of top 12.
(I'm assuming you meant "Oklahoma City, OK" in number 12.)

I'd love to hear the story behind the why the Henryetta, OK, supercharger site keeps getting pushed out.

Just a typo but Holbrook is in Arizona, not New Mexico.

ItsNotAboutTheMoney · Mar 31, 2023

Lewisburg, WV added to Open list. Actually should have been in the Top 25 list, but I had it at 123 miles instead of 124.2
Splits 124.2 miles on I-64 between Mt. Hope, WV and Lexington, VA.

(Also on US-219 and shrunk the largest gap from around 270 miles to 225.6 miles. There's a blue dot in McHenry, MD that would further reduce it to 175 miles.).

Yes, the list was generated and I had a formula error so it was picking the Unsplitter's state.

Oklahoma-Arkansas seems challenging.

"Seems challenging" sounds suspiciously like the southern euphemism "Bless their hearts."

3 more 100 mile Splitter!s on Interstate since previous post on 3/4/2023.
150 mile went up one because the numbers include Future Interstates, and Southaven, MS opened.

Supercharger - Sevierville, TN

This will plug one of the original supercharger holes I've been suggesting they fill since the days when Knoxville got it's first supercharger. Tennesseans will also have another Buc-ee’s to look forward to, which is set to open in Sevierville next year. It is set to break a world record of...

Splitter! On I-40, Kodak, TN will split 117.4 miles, 25.3 miles from Knoxville - Brookview Centre Way, TN, 92.7 miles to Asheville, NC.

ItsNotAboutTheMoney · Apr 15, 2023

Plainview, TX added to Open list. On I-27 splitting, 124.3 miles from the start at Lubbock, TX to the end at Amarillo, TX.
It was 24th on the list, and with distance re-check 23rd.

I also rechecked what was 25th, and found that Cambridge, OH to the end of I-77 was actually only 121.7 miles, dropping it down to 27th, so the table is updated with new 24th and 25th:

24	I-90	Missoula	MT	Butte	MT	123.5
25	I-70	Richfield	UT	Green River	UT	123.2

So for gaps over 100 miles:
Permit 10
Construction 4
Remain 56
But note that some current Permit/Construction Splitter!s are Pathetic, and will still leave gaps over 100 miles.

These new chargers won’t reduce gaps much but should add reliability as a number of these are only 4 or 6 stall V2.

Supercharger - Rocker, MT (Butte)

A new 8 stall supercharger is coming to Rocker, MT. The name is still TBD, the address is Rocker, MT but Tesla has the pin on Butte, MT. So it could either be Rocker, MT or Butte - Grizzly Trail, MT. This was discovered by Marco.

And speed, and more flexible load-sharing, and more capacity. It's a big improvement.

Once the new MT Town Pump locations open it will be possible to drive all the way from Boston to Seattle using only V3 superchargers.

* Using I-90/I-94/I-90. It's already possible, just a _long_ diversion.

EDIT No, never mind, ignore that. There's some gaps everywhere east-west. There's a few others pending that could make possible the long way round.

1571.6 miles heading east on I-90 from Liberty Lake (SC), WA to Tomah, WI taking I-90.
1574.2 miles heading west.
Obviously would require some stops on the way as well.

Thinking about this I suppose one *could* do it today taking a very out of the way route well to the south with multiple very long legs requiring full charges and long diversions and warm temps and slow speeds

. The real point is the new MT locations will allow it along the fastest route.

A brand new Model S could probably make Miles City-Great Falls-Helena-Liberty Lake with some very careful driving (and decent weather!), but that isn't an interstate route. It adds about an hour of drive time according to Google Maps, but in reality it would probably be more like 2 extra hours because you'd have to drive the speed limit or maybe even a little less vs. going 85mph on I-90.

Splitter!

Supercharger - Guin, AL

Surprised to not find this here yet. Construction of a 12 stall, 250 kW supercharger is well underway at 5750 AL-44, Guin, AL 35563 (Holiday Inn). See here for progress video. @Pluto , can you add this to supercharge.info?

teslamotorsclub.com

On I-22, Guin, AL splits 129.3 miles, 60.5 miles from Tupelo, MS and 69.9 miles to the end at I-65 in Birmingham, AL. I-22 is currently being extended at the end about a mile to US-31.
This is currently #18 on the list of gaps.
