If anyone discovers that the south-bound side is actually not open yet send an email to me ([email protected]) and I will change the red dot back to a construction cone. Don't want anyone to end up stranded there. Superchargers

Is anyone planning an opening party? I can't supercharge, but I still want to go check it out when they go live.

Ditto. North still out.
Hitting south tomorrow.
Today, Boston suburbs to Hanover and down to surnamed and back to near Hanover, 231 mile range at start, 10 degrees at finish...18 moles too spare...no problem...
50K tomorrow. Should happen just about exactly at hookset. All very good.

Remember that charging rate depends critically on your state of charge and, to lesser degrees, battery temperature and external temperature. The max charge rate is only achieved when you have very low SOC and a nicely warm battery.
Stopped and charged briefly last night on my way home, though didn't need to on the downhill run.
Could have used the northbound one on my way up Friday night however. Started out with 245 miles for a 160 mile journey to Bretton Woods but between driving fast (catching up to relatives who started earlier), 0 degree temperatures and high winds, as we started to climb into Franconia Notch I saw my buffer dropping rapidly. I slowed down and arrived with 5 miles to spare. Charged back up to over 200 on 120v in the garage, as we didn't need the car while there.
Hope northbound is up and running soon.

Northbound is live
Your wish is my command! The meter still reads 0 - somebody get up here and fix that!

Oh man I may have to take up this challenge
It would be cool to know if it's actually live. Sure looks like it is with those glowing stanchions. We've got to plan an opening event for this weekend!

Has anyone charged on the Northbound side yet? I'll be passing through Hooksett tomorrow, although after "breaking" in the Southbound side I'd rather not be the first one to charge.
'Fraid so... :redface:
Thanks. I was afraid it wasn't dark enough for for the glowing logos to show, but I had an meeting to get to, so I couldn't wait for dark.

Don't be shy. It has it's own feed, so you won't take out the building. Hopefully. :wink:Has anyone charged on the Northbound side yet? I'll be passing through Hooksett tomorrow, although after "breaking" in the Southbound side I'd rather not be the first one to charge.

Just added 100 miles on the Northbound side in Hooksett. Everything looks great!
The project architect for the rest area stopped by and took some pictures for a local paper.
Construction is just finishing up inside. The Common Man restaurants will be opened by early next week.
