I guess Clines Corners wasn't interested...

Bowlin owns 10 truck stops throughout the Arizona and New Mexico. As far as I know this is the first supercharger to go in at one of their properties. Will be interesting to see if there are more to follow. I'm not a huge fan of their kitschy gift shops or The Thing? but some of them would be good locations. Picacho Peak between Phoenix and Tucson comes to mind. And eventually they'll want to install some v3s for more density on I-10 between Tucson and Las Cruces.

Encino, NM

Host Type: Gas Station
Host: Bowlin's Flying C Ranch
Along Primary Interstates: I-40
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): None
Along Auxiliary Interstates: None

I-40

From: Moriarty, NM - 38 miles (Permit)
To: Santa Rosa, NM (v2) - 42.9 miles
Diversion: 0.6 miles
From: Albuquerque - Louisiana Blvd NE, NM - 72.2 miles
To: Tucumcari, NM (v2) - 98.5 miles
To: Tucumcari - S 1st St, NM - 98.5 MILES (Permit)

Splitter, maybe! Splits 114.5 miles on I-40, 72.2 miles from Albuquerque - Louisiana Blvd NE, NM, 42.9 miles to Santa Rosa, NM
But Moriarty, NM seems to be part of a larger agreement, is in a town and according to Google has longer opening hours than this location so might simply replace this.

What I don’t understand is it’s labeled as Encino location but Encino is 30ish miles away.

That is their address, probably because Encino is the nearest town.
The main problem I see with this location is the trading post is only open from 7am to 7pm, making a pit stop problematic late in the evening. I guess you could go discreetly water the snakes.

I’m wondering if some of these new I-40 supercharger locations might include the new 1 meg kWh chargers for the Tesla Semi/Cybertruck.

Has anyone been by to see if anything is happening?

I have a trip past there next Friday.

 

[Karlmtnliving]

No signs of any activity when I passed through today.

Thanks for the update, even though it wasn't what I was hoping for. I had been dreaming that construction might have been well underway and almost ready to open before anyone noticed. It would be nice to be able to skip the chargers in ABQ if/when this one and Moriarty ever get built.

Stopped by this location on Monday (Oct 2). No progress yet. This sure will be a great location whenever they get it it installed.

Somebody posted a link to the first round of New Mexico NEVI awards: Supercharger - Las Vegas, NM - 7th St

The NM site release is at NMDOT Announces First Round of Funding Awards for $11.9 Million from National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Funding | NMDOT .

Encino, NM is included in Tesla's awards. Moriarty, NM is was awarded to Pilot (who has the deal with GM and EVGo).

So basically it's all the permited SUC in NM that are going to construction sometime soon? I guess its a start lol

I’m at Clines Corner now. There are 2 Francis Energy pedestals with CCS+Chademo. The point being that they aren’t against EV chargers, but merely picked the wrong brand for success.

I asked a cash register guy if they were perhaps going to add Tesla “EV” chargers and he pointed me to the Francis chargers. Oh well.

… and I stopped at the Flyin C Ranch a few minutes later. No sign of actual or pending activity. I went inside but didn’t get to ask anybody about Superchargers - they were a bit busy.

Wow, I guess we just missed each other. I did a site survey at the Bowlin's Flying C Ranch (I-40 Exit 234) on Friday and I didn't see anything.

Additional technical details and specifications. Tesla had a very aggressive timeline saying it would be completed this month (April 2024). I doubt it will be completed that soon, but hopefully by the end of the year.

That’s actually a terrible location for the charge pedestals. There will be ICE problems and bad attitude issues.

ICE problems? No, I don't think so. This area is quite far from the main entrance. When I visited last Friday it was fairly busy but, as you can see in my Twitter video, there weren't any ICE cars (except the semi truck cab) parked in that area.

@corywright Could you adjust this station on Supercharge.info to reflect the plans to build 16 stalls instead of just 8?
