Ashland has less amenities. Does anyone know where the proposed Supercharger is going to come? I don't see any construction work near the Washington visitor center. Not sure, they can come up with one this year. Lincoln SC is the closest to North Conway which is about an hour away.
It's a long shot, but giving it a try anyway: https://twitter.com/paulbraren/status/1306048653954560000?s=20
Seems there are a couple of J-1772 in the Weather Discovery Center lot: PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You but yeah, I agree, a V3 Supercharger near Mount Washington would be helpful for out-of-staters in particular. Went up recently myself, what a blast, a wonderful day it was!
Went up to drive the Kangamangus. Sort of spur of the moment, so the car was only charged at 47% when we left. Stopped at Ashland as it was V3 and 2 penny/kWh cheaper than Hookset. Could have made it to Lincoln with 7% but I've already used that one. Arrived with 19%. No issues with the charger. Only 2 other Teslas were there and one ICE truck trying to block the last charger. Got up to 202kWh charging initially but it quickly ramped down. Was a bit disappointed that using A with no one in B, that it couldn't sustain the high charge rate. As I set the SC as my destination, I assume that the batteries would be fully ready. The Dunkin store wouldn't let you use the rest rooms as they were locked with signs about no public restrooms. Kangamangus was mobbed! Although it was an overcast day, it was warm and not raining and everyone was there. All overlooks and parking spots were spilling out onto the roadway. Still it was a beautiful scenic drive and TACC handled the heavy traffic with ease. Except when someone turns in front of you. It gets upset with that.
With V3 superchargers, A/B pairing is no longer a thing. The chargers balance across all the pedestals so you don't have to worry about using every other stall to try to get optimal charging rates. I can't offer any other feedback on the charging rates from personal experience, as my car only gets about 106kW max (X 100D). I know I've heard that V3 high charging rates do ramp down pretty quickly from reading other forums. Also good to know DD is still restricting bathroom access there - that's been true for a while now, and probably will continue for the foreseeable future.
I traveled to NH 2 weekends ago and it seemed every store and food service restroom was closed. Is this a statewide thing in NH for COVID?
Yeah, the taper starts immediately after the early peak early in the charging session, at least with my Model 3. More of my V3 stories here: Things I noticed charging my Tesla Model 3 LR AWD at the very first V3 Superchargers in the Northeastern United States | TinkerTry IT @ Home
