Suggested Tesla Supercharger locations in Texas

Chargepoint and blink would have Texas covered, pretty much.

Stephen, I signed up with ChargePoint and am now awaiting my card. Coincidentally, I talked to one of their reps about putting one of their chargers in the parking lot of my business, so I may be the only public charge station in Longview if I choose to do that. Unfortunately, most of the chargers are only 30 amps, so not great news for us Model S owners.

Check out
EV | Volt | Electric Vehicle Charging Station | ClipperCreek, CA

as well. They have much higher power J1772 chargers with access control (credit card billing) too.

Superchargers in Texas

KenEE - Elon mentioned it in passing in the call. I don't have the exact quote, but when he was talking about expanding the Supercharger network he specifically said 'Texas' as one spot. It would be great to get the triangle covered and then be part of the first coast to coast along I-10. I think those odds would be pretty good for CtC as I-10 is warmer than any other northern route (see Broder, John). Also, Phoenix/Houston/Florida appear to be just as legitimate concentration points of users vs. Denver/Chicago/NE Corridor (no data just looking at Tesla's maps).

Still think a commercial deal with a company that has nationwide presence (one real estate deal vs. hundreds/thousands) would be the ticket.

Anything on the call about Superchargers in Texas?

My DS told me that TX ranks third in the number of Model S sales, so I assume that would give some added priority to getting Superchargers here.

Why is that?

Independent thinkers?

I was surprised, especially as buying a Tesla in TX is such a PITA at the moment. I think TX also ranks second or third for number of charging stations. A state of contradictions I guess.

Most likely population. Only California has more people. In addition, most folks in Texas aren't Texans (meaning they don't hail from Texas).

And, at least it used to be, most Californians don't hail from California.

Thanks DSM...I just sent them an email to see if they can do their 100amp charger with access control. That'd be really nice!

A SuperCharger in Victoria would open up south Texas to Tesla exploration. Another in Corpus Christi would take us to the border.

Agreed and added Victoria to the map. Also added one near Brownsville. Need Houston to Brownsville charging ability.
