Supercharger - Lexington, KY
- Thread starter RomainiacWV
- Start date
Good point! I went back and checked the data, and my SOC when I started charging at Dayton was about 20 fewer rated miles than when I started charging at Lexington. I didn't think it would make that great a difference in charge rate, but this is all new to me.

Beat me to it, tough crowd here, guess a man's word isn't what it once was
Finding a diamond in the rough that no has heard about is becoming more and more unique.
There are a lot of ears and eyes looking for permits and beginning construction (digging), while you found a virtually completed (and now active) Supercharger location.
Congratulations: Great Find!!!

As a non-Tesla owner (not yet anyway), I'm curious how you activate the charging session on the supercharger? I'm guessing the connector is locked in the pedestal and has to be unlocked through some method. Is it through a phone app, the car key fob, an RFID card, etc? I've never heard how you initiate the supercharge session. Thx.

Just pull into the spot and plug in. You dont need to hit any buttons to release the cable from the charge stand, and you dont need to do anything to start charging once your car is plugged in. It could not be any simpler.

It's right here:
Dropped Pin
near 2119-2165 Pink Pigeon Pkwy, Lexington, KY 40509

This station is now showing up on Tesla's website. I've added it to Plugshare, and stole WhitestoneFarm's excellent pic for that listing.

Has any one else experienced slow supercharging at this location? I supercharged here twice last week, and both times never saw a speed above 30 kw. The first time I pulled into the charger with 15 miles range remaining, and after an hour and a half on the charger, I gave up and went back to my hotel for the night, and returned the next day, plugged into a different stall (on a different bank), and never saw a speed above 28 kw. My car is a classic 60, and thus is not the fastest charging car on the road, but these speeds were slow even by my standards.
An Atlanta-area Tesla owner had a similar experience today. 51 kW max. No other cars present.
He eventually found that station 3B gave him 102 kW.

Does anyone know why this does not show up on A Better Route Planner or Plugshare as an option? If you search for them, you find them, but if you use the route planner for either website it ignores this one, and a number in WV. It makes my trip longer to go the route it wants and it makes no sense why it's skipping these.
In the other Lexington thread (Meijer Way), a user reported talking to a worker delivering gear to that site, and they said:
"... Also good news for Lexington tesla owners, the old supercharger in the Hamburg location is going from 8 to 20 stalls in the same period of time [May] . They already have all of the equipment for it in the parking lot. Not sure if it's becoming a v3 location or staying v2."
I believe this is the thread for the "Hamburg" location.
Of course Tesla doesn't do new V2 installs anymore, so this will likely get 12 new V3 pedestals.
