Supercharger - Champaign, IL

[Fezzik]

Charged here again on Wed for the trip back from Paducah. It worked great and we ate at Panda express and when we were done with dinner the car was done. This is great! hopefully the pizza place will be better in a few months!

I think I'm going to be able to make the gathering on Sunday! I arrived home last night and actually ate at Destihl with the family. It was packed, but it was a Friday evening.

Is everyone bringing their family to the SC meeting?

 

[jvonbokel]

I'm bringing my girlfriend, and I know from St Louis we'll at least have a few other couples. All are welcome!

Just FYI, but the parking garage by Destihl has a few free J1772 chargers on the 3rd floor.

Only 34 kW on 4A today. Moved to 3A and got 44 kW. Called Tesla and was told everything looked normal on their end. SOC was 40% and the battery wasn't cold.

I had probables this weekend (Friday) as well. I was seeing 74KW on the two or three chargers I attached to. I was worried it was my battery starting to have issues. Maybe it was just something with this charger?

We will be traveling across Illinois on Wednesday, 12/20, and plan to use the Champaign supercharger site.
Does anyone have recent experience and can advise on how well any of the units work?
Thanks.

Best to check PlugShare or in-car nav to see any issues. Never had a problem here.

I use the first stall quite frequently and always get full speed. Can’t comment about the others.

 

[SilverMonk]

Thank for your comments, qadaemon and bjwModelS. Plans changed at last moment, and we traveled I-80 instead.
qadaemon, I noted your feedback about the first stall in our charge log booklet for our next trip. Thanks.

Watch out for Kenny the begger (disabled, cancer patient, can’t afford my medicine-scammer) at the charging station. He is a slick confidence man. Targeting people charging at this station.

Was just there this past weekend and didnt see any beggers. This is probably the 10th time i've been here

How much did he take you for?

 

[tjhlaw]

$70, the cost of his medicine. A guy coming out of the store told me that he comes around every few days with the same story. I’m a fool for believing his bs.
