Supercharger - Buckeye, AZ

Monsoon, that's a great picture!
I love how he dressed Stanley in his own Tesla gear.

He cuts ribbons like a pro...ready for politics!

@Sousaphil, this isn't Flat Stanley's first ribbon-cutting ceremony -- but the scissors are a concern after Macedonia, OH.

Those are great!
I'm making the trek to Denver next weekend. Happy to bring Stanley along...

Visited the Buckeye SC last weekend. I guess I missed all the fanfare

Enjoy the days of no-waiting. They won't last forever.

Ice'd in buckeye!

Next time shoot it with the license plate showing.

With a trailer behind it. Seriously? That is obnoxious. I wonder if the coal-rolling idiots are going to start doing this for sport...

Next time shoot it with the license plate showing.

This was Gila Bend on 9/1.

It's possible that these drivers just always parked in these spots as such before there were SCs. And now are just following their habit. Prof course they can be coal rollers doing it for sport. I want to give benefit of doubt. But you never know. I do have one with the license plate, which I am withholding because the 'doubt'. But if I see a similar truck elsewhere in the PHX area, then the plate goes public

I stopped at the Buckeye Supercharger on the way home from Lake Havasu yesterday (3/19/17). I had trouble getting lined up with the pedestal when backing in. The parking lot has been repaved and restriped. There are now 9 lined parking spaces in front of 8 pedestals. The farther from the left, the more misaligned the spaces become. This puts an unusual kink in the cable at some of the pedestals.

You ain't seen nothing yet: Buckeye goes to eleven.

I noticed similar problems in other locations. Some have old lines that don't match. I learned the best way to do it is to aim for the red sign and center the car to it. That works all the time.

I know I'm lined up when I whack that little red sign (yes, it's me that keeps doing that everywhere ;-)

Some interesting electrical tape art was added to this SC. Spotted on Oct 13, 2019

Stopped at Buckeye to charge on Thu 2/27/20. All chargers seem to be in OK shape. 4 cars there, all spaced out across the 8 spots so that we would not share cabinets, but we were still all seeing fairly slow charge rates. Then, I got out and looked closer and saw that this is one of those odd chargers were the A’s are grouped together, then the B’s are grouped together! So, even alternating spots with the best of intentions, we were actually using 1A/3A/1B/3B. . At non-V3 chargers, you really have to look close at the charger numbers!

For those looking for an open bathroom at this location, Pet Smart has one available to the public, if you are in the area during their business hours.

Here I am on the last leg of a drive from LA and I’m pulling 55 KW even below 50% SOC. So I get on google to see what people are saying about this charger and as soon I get to your post and look, the guy 4 spots away is pulling out and my charging doubles :/
