Pinehurst NC - noSupercharger

[Bobbo8]

Still surprised there is no Supercharger in Pinehurst, with all the tourists, PGA events. I see chargers going in a number of locations not as visited as Pinehurst..

There seem to be a good number of Tesla destination chargers in that area.

And even more J1772 plugs around there. (Couldn't find a shareable link, so took a screenshot.)

Pinehurst is a destination and not a place people travel through. L2 charging is thus sufficient at your destination and a supercharger is unlikely anytime soon. There is also already superchargers surrounding Pinehurst in every direction which people can use on their way in and on their way out.

That stategy is evolving as there are Tesla Superchargers in Hiltonhead, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, the Outer Banks and I could go on and these are destinations. As the Tesla population is growing there is a need for more SCers and especially where people are going.

I agree that we will begin to see more superchargers in more places no doubt. However, the places you mentioned are all beaches that are heavily traveled to and from while Pinehurst is a niche golf town that is not really near anything else. Pinehurst may get one eventually but it makes sense there isn't one there currently was my point.

The only one of those that you list that isn't also pass through is Hilton Head.

I suspect that rather than putting one in Pinehurst, NC they'd continue to build up along the highways around there, so maybe Southern Pines.
NC is getting attention. Maybe they'll get to it. There's still a lot of the USA to fill in.

As the interstate gaps keep getting filled the next step in SC installs is where people congregate. As for Pinehurst, Southern Pines would be a good choice.

This is a good argument for destination/L2 chargers. If you can put in 50 L2 chargers for every single fast charger, that might be more appropriate given typical layover times (at hotels, restaurants, and other attractions that tourists are likely going to spend hours, not minutes, at). Better use of travelers' time and wallet too.

The Rockingham units that opened in Dec. are currently a fallback option if L2 isn't available.
