They are in Long Term 2. You do not have to pay to get in. You should not have to pay to get out - as long as you take your ticket to the reader at the gate as you drive out, it should let you out without demanding money, especially if you're there for less than two hours. If there's a human in the booth and is new, they may not know of this policy, so just drive past them and use the automated ticket machine.
The superchargers are behind an automatic gate that you pull a ticket from, which is normally what they use to charge you for your time spent in the lot (though I've never actually incurred a charge in the times I've charged there). I believe the gate that opens once you pull the ticket from the machine uses an inductive loop in the pavement to determine when you've passed through the gate; I've never tried passing through one of those with a trailer (perhaps you know from personal experience) but if the trailer is sufficient to appear as "more car" then the gate shouldn't shut on you.In early June we will be using the Chattanooga SC towing a long trailer. Any advice for folks who have used this one? Any extra charge for driving in with a trailer. Any place to drop it off to charge? Thanks!
Moonwick, Thanks for your reply!The superchargers are behind an automatic gate that you pull a ticket from, which is normally what they use to charge you for your time spent in the lot (though I've never actually incurred a charge in the times I've charged there).

I don't believe they normally deal with people carrying trailers in that lot, but I believe the deal they have with Tesla is that supercharger users don't have to pay the normal parking fee regardless (it's in the airport's short-term lot).
Now, the supercharger configuration itself might be more of an issue; it's one of the old-school layouts, where the charging stands are all in one line against the back of the parking spots, requiring you to back in to use them. At some locations you'll find a single stand that's positioned in such a way where you can drive straight in and use it, but unfortunately that isn't the case at CHA. If you get there late at night or at another time when nobody's parked there you could conceivably pull up parallel to the stands, parking across all six parking spots, but for obvious reasons that's... less than optimal.
I'm willing to bet that the lot management won't be adverse to you leaving the trailer in an empty parking spot while you charge, but it couldn't hurt to try to get in touch with the airport to find out in advance.
Good luck on your trip!
Was charged one dollar for 20 minutes.
New guy at the exit gate? Was charged one dollar for 20 minutes. The sign says the first 15 minutes are free and that's what the ticket machine to.d hi it should be. Worst location I've been to yet.
Yeah, this is unusual. I've charged there several times for 30-60 minutes and have never had to pay. Sounds like it might just be a new guy at the gate.New guy at the exit gate?

If that's your worst location ... you have the complete convenience of the airport!New guy at the exit gate? Was charged one dollar for 20 minutes. The sign says the first 15 minutes are free and that's what the ticket machine to.d hi it should be. Worst location I've been to yet.
I was travelling through and finding the chargers and dealing with the ticket was less convenient than other chargers I've used--not so easy off/on the highway. Maybe a quick supercharge after landing but otherwise I dont see a real use case for a quick charge in a long term lot.complete convenience of the airport!
