There are still many trips, especially thru Southeast, where you can do the trip using SC and/or ChaDemo but will need to go quite a bit out of your way. No so much of a problem for old retired guys, but can be a no-go when travelling for business.

It's all relative in positional terms. OTOH, Paducah - that would be really, really western and I know you'd love that (and so would I :biggrin

Hey, Paducah is a fine western Kentucky town at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers.
I learned to weld in a tow boat dry dock in Paducah. I'd love to go back and Supercharge there one day. I still remember helping with the overhaul of a 12-cylinder, 24-piston, supercharged, 2-cycle, diesel, tow-boat engine at that same dry dock. That's where I learned what a Supercharger was... :biggrin:
I wish the Paducah Supercharger were completed this year. It does complete the best path for the St. Louis and Iowa folks to make it to Florida.

I charged at Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground (the one mentioned by Fezzik) a couple of weeks ago. I used the NEMA 14-50 at site #35, $10 for as long as you want. Only problem was the circuit breakers kept tripping, even after I turned the amps down to 25. I stopped after about 2.5 hours of interrupted charging. So I wouldn't use site 35 if you have any choice.
Another option that didn't pan out for me were the free J1772s at Kentucky One Medical Center Jewish South. It was right after a rain storm and neither one was working well. However it looks like one of them was working okay more recently for someone else.

As others have pointed out Kentucky has a statewide zoning restriction limiting DCFC to "gas stations".
This seems like a good option from Lex or New London to Nashville

Until Paducah is online what is the best solution getting from St Louis to Nashville?
Fern creek at exit 3 in Paducah has a campground you can pay a few bucks and use.

Several people have been working on Harrah's Metropolis.
Give the manager a call or write him a letter about how great HPWC's would be there!
I wish it wouldn't be Harrah's. It's not right off the interstate and and it can take 10 mins to get there from the exit (4-5 miles off interstate with traffic lights and a very slow speed limit and constantly patrolled by police pulling people over.. I still would think it better to have it at Huddle house there at the metropolis exit. Exit 3 (West side) would be better with a gas station and a few restaurants and hotel. Exit 4 (Either side but west is better with mall walking access) would be best with all the restaurants there and hotels.

The discussion about Harrah's was for a destination charger, not the Supercharger location.
For Destination Chargers, work on both places to get on the Tesla Destination Charger Program; it's not either/or.
I pushed hard on Tesla via email regarding the unacceptable speed of development of the I-65 corridor SC network. Good news in the response. Quote below.
