I've also noticed that chargers don't seem to show up in the app unless they're in range.New superchargers don't show up in everyone's Nav at the same time so this is normal. They release updates in batches.

While I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, this is a brutal stop in terms of restrooms. There's basically nothing else within reasonable walking distance and the SAGE Center is only open 24 hours/week. There's also a $5 admission fee?!? Will be interesting to see how they deal with all the Tesla drivers wanting to use the restroom. I suspect there could be some friction forthcoming. Perhaps installing a porta-potty out near the supercharger would be a mediocre solution of sorts.hours for the sage center are pretty tight (10-4), so .4 miles to the park down the way for bathrooms (not verified they have them, not even listed on the boardman parks website, but looks like it from street view). might have luck at blue mountain community college, and there is also the pool right there. Macario's, a mexican place, is .3 miles and is open 11-8 except sunday.

I’m sure they’ll have a policy to allow restroom use. Probably part of the lease agreement. We will have to wait and see what the map page lists when it is updated.While I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, this is a brutal stop in terms of restrooms.

I'm currently at the new Ellensburg supercharger whose host property does not allow restroom use, so nothing would be shocking to me at this point.I’m sure they’ll have a policy to allow restroom use.

I saw the same sign and started to walk away, but the lady behind the desk came out, told me where the restrooms were, and didn’t charge me $5 for admission.While I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, this is a brutal stop in terms of restrooms.

Same for me. This is a bad weather in the gorge assurance stop or an I don’t need to charge at home stop. My spouse does regularly need to stop at the rest area outside of boardman, so perhaps it will replace it.Personally this will basically be like a splash and go stop for me. This allows to not charge as high somewhere earlier (Portland area or Hood River, etc) and then spend five minutes or so here before heading up to Tri Cities (home). Mainly in winter/bad weather conditions, the LRY actually might not need this stop depending where I’m coming from or how I leave Portland.
Do you have a CCS adapter? Or do you mean CHAdeMO? And by Umatilla do you mean Electrify America in Hermiston or is there an unlisted CCS in Umatilla? EA CHAdeMO shows as out of order currently on plug Share so not a good backup option.This new charger already saved me a good bit of time:

We started in Bend with 90% and (in retrospect) could have made it home, nonstop, with 8% left. A little too scary for me, as the only reliable backup charging option is the CCS charger in Umatilla. Prior to Boardman coming online last week, the trip planner would probably have conservatively routed us out of the way to The Dalles, costing an extra half hour in road time alone.
A 6-minute charging stop in Boardman allowed us to get home with a nice healthy 28% reserve, simultaneously preserving a viable plan B (the Umatilla CCS charger) and plan C (run the risk of getting home with only 8%).
Yes I have a third party CCS adapter, and yes that's the stop I had in mind:Do you have a CCS adapter? Or do you mean CHAdeMO?

Good catch!
EXCAVATION SITE IS ON THE E SIDE OF THE ROAD. MARK IN THE PARKING LOT 2ND ROW OF PARKING SPACES ON THE E SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE EXISTING CHARGERS IN THE 6 PARKING SPACES BY THE EXISTING CHARGERS AT ABV ADD.
I talked to one of the museum/community folks shortly after the Tesla site became active — they made it sound like additional infrastructure was built out in anticipation of other EV charging network vendors eventually adding stalls in that same location. made sense to me at the time.
