Supercharger - Little Rock, AR

[essmd]

The Holiday has two Tesla HPWC 's rated for 48A (reported) and they might be your best bet.

Thanks for that info. Perhaps a few hours charging there may provide just enough to make it to Memphis if I "range mode" it and drive conservatively in my 90D, just me and my dog.

Rough math...If I can get 25 mi/hr charging for 2 hours, then usual range of 235+50= 285 miles...that should get me to family in Memphis on " electron fumes".

Any dirt disturbed yet at Bass Pro?

According to a gentleman in the Outlet Mall Project Office, Entergy surveyed two locations on the road between the Outlet Mall stores and the Bass Pro Shop. It looks like it will be located in the Bass Pro parking lot as we suspected. I checked today and found no signs of construction.

Has anybody used a RV50 close to Little Rock?
Because if the Holiday Inn charger is occupied or not available to non guests that would be the next fastest charge Memphis to Texarkana. It does seem that there are several somewhat slower L2 chargers in LR. And most are ChargePoint ,better than the Blinks which are often broken. ChargePoint has an app to tell which are in use, very handy to keep you from using electrons searching for a charger. but there is still no way to know in advance which are ICEd.
If I have to use L2 it looks like I will need 3 hours of charge. (S85) -plus some careful driving.. Assuming no headwind, a distinct possibility headed SW

I have a HPWC 100 amp at my home in West LR that is available. 56 miles/ hr.

 

[ahurst]

There is (or will be) a 14-50 outlet located at the back of the new Burger 21 restaurant on Chenal Parkway and Markham.

Meachdc is on PlugShare if you need contact info

You may be a life (or trip saver). I will contact you for details.

I found you on Plugshare... very nice of you.

 

[Meachdc!]

Glad to help if I can.

 

[ahurst]

Meach, I haven't needed you yet, but our restaurant opens soon and your HPWC is very close...
I may trade you free lifetime lunches for an occasionally charge at your house...

I really appreciate seeing you do this. I got to be that guy in Boise before I-84 got its Superchargers put in, and I had fun getting to meet other Tesla owners from a few other states who were traveling through.

Allow me to add to the kudos.

Not to insult anyone's intelligence, but a clarification to those who may not realize: to benefit from the 100 amps @56 miles/hr, you have to have the High Amperage Charger Upgrade (or for those of us in the previous generation, the dual chargers). Standard chargers will still only be able to charge at 40 amp (~30 miles/hr)

 

[ahurst]

Luckily for me, I have the old dual chargers...

 

[bevguy]

Thanks guys for the help re non Holiday Inn chargers in LR
My trip isn't till May so maybe I will get lucky with a LR SC.

Wouldn't it be 48 amps?

The latest from the Planning Office in LR: Plans have been approved, construction work now out on bids. Little by little.

OT Ahurst, I see your Burger 21 restaurant is open for business and that you've installed a NEMA 14-50 plug behind the building.
My wife and I will come by and try one of the veggie burgers and grab some electrons. Thanks for doing this.

48A for the newer cars with the 48A charger. 40A for the pre-facelift cars with the 40A standard charger.

Ahurst thanks for the NEMA 14-50 that will be very convient when I visit my sister. She lives right off Chenal Parkway just a few minutes away. She plans on coming in for some burgers soon.

You are welcome. But we won't open until May I think. City inspections, etc. Red tape.

I need to do a Tesla-discount at the restaurant

Again, thanks for the outlet availability behind B21. That certainly influences where to go when driving a Leaf, such as what I have now, while waiting for my Model 3.
