Wiki Largest gaps between Superchargers on US Interstates

[Krash]

…a lot of cars have been damaged trying to get into it, on a curb you hit when navigating the entrance…

Off topic: Let me know if you find a thread on hard to navigate Superchargers. I let someone else drive coming out of the Linq Supercharger in Las Vegas and destroyed an Arachnid rim. It ground it up as it rotated forward and then slid down the rim.

At least I got to pay extra for being in the lot a few minutes more than an hour. /s

@ItsNotAboutTheMoney You really should just update the original post with the Thetford St Asheville SC as the new origin SC now. It shouldn’t be listed as a splitter. It’s just the new starting point…

Never mind I see what you did

You may have started another important thread with this. Mods what do you think? There is a new Supercharger on Foothill Blvd in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. It’s hard to spot from either direction on Foothill, difficult to access from one direction & the risk of body damage in some of the stalls is high as they are pull through in a parking lot with narrow lanes. Now back to the main topic.

Aside, if Tesla built and opened all Superchargers with identified locations minimum additional needed for max separation along individual interstates would be:

Max Separation	Needed	01/17/2021
50	536	582
75	250	291
100	110	136
125	42	57
150	11	16

There has been definite progress this year, but there's still a long way to go.

@ItsNotAboutTheMoney can you please update with the new Orangeburg, South Carolina supercharger? It will delete one entry but add another again for Asheville to Orangeburg now at 180 miles.

Working on today's updates.

Aside: Veedersburg, IN is open. It's a splitter on I-74 of a gap of 114.4 miles, 56.9 miles from Champaign, IL and 59.4 miles to Speedway, IN.

Splitter!
Orangeburg, SC splits 248.5 miles, 180.4 miles from Asheville - Thetford St, NC and 69 miles to North Charleston, SC.
The 180.4 mile gap from Asheville - Thetford St, NC to Orangeburg, SC will still be one of the 10 largest gaps remaining, so will also need to be split.
Clinton, SC, close to the middle of that 180.4 mile gap has exits with gas stations and hotels, but 2 Superchargers, with 1 in west Spartanburg, SC would make sense.

If they could put one near the I-85 and I-26 split interchange that would be ideal. I-85 needs another one as well.

Also the new split is Orangeburg to Asheville not Orangeburg to North Charleston

Thanks, I've updated my update to fix it.

Mooresville, NC is Open.
It's a pathetic splitter of 129 miles on I-77, 19.2 miles from Charlotte - Northlake Centre Pkwy, NC and 112.7 miles to Wytheville, VA.

Oh man and I’m starting to hate wytheville. Only 6 150kw stalls frequently busy. You really can’t skip it going northbound because it’s uphill. But I guess mooresville will be good for me since I travel a lot between davidson nc and Ohio….i can use Moresville to start my trip home.

 

[MikeGracz]

Hmm ...

I got 1159.3 miles following US-2 for that.
If Shelby, MT actually gets built it'll split the gaps to 417.5 miles and 741.9 miles.
US-60 Wickenburg, AZ to Miner, MO is 1583.5 miles. Plenty of places in between, but not actually close to that highway. Even once Socorro, NM is open, Socorro, NM to Miner, MO will be 1152.8 miles.

Newly opened (16 November 2021) Supercharger in Soldotna, Alaska creates (narrows?) the gap to the newly opened supercharger in Prince George, BC to 1,852 miles! It's not a single highway, but it is along the shortest driving path between Alaska and the Continental US.

 

[israndy]

I was pretty put out by Highway 395 from Hines OR to Alturas, CA at 192 miles, but then you bring up an 1852 mile gap and I don't even know what to say.

Splitter!
Permit identified for a new Akron, OH service center with 8 public v3 Supercharger stalls.
Splits the 121.7 miles gap on I-77 from Cambridge, OH to the end at I-90 in Cleveland, OH.
95.4 miles from Cambridge, OH, 26.9 miles to the end of I-77.

It's the end of the 2021. Here's are my counts for the number of superchargers needed to for end-to-end Interstate coverage with maximum separation (this not take into account any possible concurrencies or intersections):

Max Separation		Needed	01/17/2021
25		1432	n/k
50		531	582
75		245	291
100		108	136
125		42	57
150		11	16

I started keeping the counts 1/17/2021 and I have included that number for comparison.
I've only just added the count for 25 miles (curiosity) so I don't have an earlier number for 25 miles.

Significant progress is being made, but there's still a long way to go. and that's just for Interstates.

US Numbered Highways have a lot more to go, although there are more concurrencies and intersections so those numbers could come down quickly:

Max Separation	Needed	11/05/2021
25	5508	u/k
50	2475	2478
75	1458	1475
100	969	975
125	674	683
150	503	507

Supercharger - Moraine, OH - (Service Center, limited hours)

It appears that a Service Center and Supercharger are being built near Dayton, Ohio. Former Friends Office and Staples before that. 1927 W Dorothy Ln, Moraine, OH 45439

teslamotorsclub.com

New Moraine, OH service center. Plans mention Supercharger. If it's public that will split along I-75.
Cincinnati, OH to Lima, OH is 119.7 miles.

Existing Dayton, OH is a significant diversion, 11 miles and 15 1/2 minutes so it falls a bit outside my 10 mile limit.)
This one would still apparently be a 9 1/2 minute diversion, due to the location not being directly off the Interstate, but only 1.4 miles with more lower speed driving, so saving energy (and time) as well.

With the construction of a Sheetz at I-90 and OH-306, I'd hoped to be the first to announce a splitter between Erie PA and Sheffield OH. But a quick look at the site plan did not show any chargers. Perhaps after the initial buildup? We'll see...

But conversations with the City Engineer did raise the question. How much additional juice would it take to run the usual Tesla octoplex?

 

[israndy]

ENTER THE OCTOPLEX!!!

That's a really exciting word for such a mundane place as a Supercharger.

Just to humor me, Money:

Interstate 69 has been on the books in various iterations and spurs (69W, 69C, 69E) for decades now. Yet is still a disjointed and incomplete roadway with US59 filling in the gaps. If my memory serves, Congress authorized the highway but did not provide funding. Funding was left to state and local agencies.

I am not as sanguine as you that this roadway will ever be completed in a reasonable (<10 years) time frame. What are your criteria for placing this on your listing, and if this status is unchanged ten years hence, will you change your mind?
