I'll bet you're looking forward to the slated-for-2019 Chillicothe Supercharger!
That's right, no more Grove City detour on the way home to Marietta.

I'll bet you're looking forward to the slated-for-2019 Chillicothe Supercharger!
I've heard rumor that Tesla was instructed to remove the Tesla chargers form the garage, once they vacate.I do wonder if they will install Superchargers in that location as well. Hopefully the charging/parking location in the parking garage attached to the mall stays. So nice to have a Tesla only parking and charging so convenient to shopping and dining.

By "ChargePoint", I assume you mean Level 3 chargers? ChargePoint also has Level 2 chargers (in the East garage and in the lot at Easton Gateway). I would love for them to fill the garage with quality Level 2 chargers (min 48A), rather than add just a few more Level 3.That would make sense, but please expand the Chargepoint bays, I always charge at these, Level 2 charging just does[n't] make sense anymore.
Are level 2 chargers really needed for Tesla owners? I only use them overnight at hotels when traveling. Otherwise, I have never driven so much in one day that charging at my home or supercharger was not vastly more convenient than a Level 2 charger. There is a move theater I go to that has a Tesla destination charger, but I never use it. This is a legitimate question; what is your driving habit/need that a Level 2 charger is such a necessity for you? Or, are you more commenting on non-Tesla EV's with very short range and always needing to top off for normal around-town driving?By "ChargePoint", I assume you mean Level 3 chargers?

Most people that go to Easton are there for a few hours. I feel rude whenever I use the Level 3, because it's finished way before I'm ready to leave. So, either I don't use it, or I have to go back in 45-60 mins to move my car, so other EVs can charge.
The cost for a Level 3 charging spot is astronomically higher than a Level 2. They could fill an area with Level 2 chargers, and EVs could stay there charging the whole time they are eating and shopping at Easton. You could be charging at a rate of 15kW - 19kW for 2-3 hours and still get the same amount of energy without having to go back to move your car or look rude for leaving it there.
This is the model that should be used at all locations where large numbers of people come to spend more than just 45 mins or so. Think malls, airports, work places, park & rides, etc. I would still love it if they also had a handful of Level 3 chargers, but this wouldn't need to be the norm for these type of destinations.

My comment was more in general to all EV/PHEV, and more specific to the post I was replying to... I wasn't entering into debate on where one should charge, or when one should charge, or who should be paying for it, etc, etc... I was simply commenting on the other poster's thoughts.Are level 2 chargers really needed for Tesla owners? I only use them overnight at hotels when traveling.

I would prefer to see many Level 2 chargers available in long term parking areas, as opposed to just a couple Level 3 chargers. It just doesn't make sense. If you are going to install chargers at all, and it is in long term parking areas, then make them available to more people by installing many L2s for the price of just a couple L3s. Not to mention, L2s are more universally accessible to EV & PHEV.
