Supercharger - Ashland, NH

I mean, it is a Dunkin Donuts, people are in and out pretty quick most of the time so even if spots are ice'd the turnover should be fast. As long as you know going there that it's labeled "general parking" you can't be too mad about anyone parking there.

Would dedicated parking be better? Sure, but I'll take more chargers with general parking over no chargers at all.

I do not disagree; this region desperately needs another charging option to help the constantly packed and badly traffic-y six-stall charger in Lincoln, and I’m happy to see it come online soon.

However, I still think that placement is far from ideal and probably the worst I’ve seen in my few years of ownership. It’s bad both for us, as anyone arriving in the morning on a weekend should expect to wait for a stall, and also for the locals, as they will now see close to half of the available parking taken over by charging cars. This particular DD has a small and crammed lot in the front and another tiny lot with a few spots on the other side. I think that other lot would have been a better option, but it looks like that’s where employees park now.

As long as the line for the drive-thru doesn't block Supercharger access you have to consider it a win at this type of establishment.

I suspect this will be an issue for the location - the drive-through line is directly in front of the charging stalls and both the DD and the charger are going to be busy. I am, of course, still happy to see it happen - it will save me a 15-minutes detour to Hooksett on the way home to Keene from the Whites.

Power company back at the pole this morning. Guess they weren’t quite done the other day.

I think I can just make out a meter on the transformer in this picture as well (between the two right-most stalls, just in front of the truck). Probably at or very close to the point where it will ready and waiting for Tesla to come onsite to do their final testing and commissioning. There aren't a lot of Tesla crews doing this, it sometimes can take some time for them to get this done depending on where the crew is at the time they're notified the site is ready for them.

Charged here today. A nominal 250kw session. No spots ICEd. This station is in a Dunken Donuts parking lot. The DD was open for drive thru and takeout but the restrooms were not open.
