This is typically the longest part of the wait. Transformers don't grow on trees.
More than once I've seen people park on the grass, backed up to one of the spots on the northbound side. There's a picture in the Hooksett thread.
Nope. Common Man couldn’t care less. Locals will help out though. They changed the code last year, but all I see is out of state plates use it.
22 miles south? Isn't Tyngsborough, MA going to be your closest? even compared to Manchester?
I don't think you can enter or exit thru the gates without a code. That would mess with the toll booths on the road. I haven't had a big issue traveling thru NH just using Superchargers but I would check the tesla.com/findus map or maybe use A Better Route Planner to plan some of your travels to see how it will go if you are concerned.
Thanks for your answer. I'm going to do multiple short inbound distances for few days. I usually need some quick boost mid trip. Well, i will manage it with good old Level 2 chargers. The Manchester Supercharger will make life easier for locals dealing with Hooksett. Hope the wait won't be too long for you guys!
that is why the gate has a code so people don’t avoid the toll. Sadly I’m not trying to avoid the toll, I always pay it on the way out south back to Manchester. I was low today, EvGo at whole foods has been dead for more than a week, and my 2018 M3 doesn’t have CCS as an option. I purchased a ChadeMo adapter for $240 when I moved out of my house in 2021, but as stated there is only 1 ChadMo at the mall with a CCS on the other side of it. Almost always occupied in the last 4 months. I took springer rd today, sat in the public parking outside the gate for about 14 min before someone opened the gate with a code to leave. I just scooted through, charged to 95% and headed back down through the toll home. Interestingly while I was charging a NH Statie sped along the back of the rest area and parked facing the gate. Not sure if he was doing paperwork or looking for gate jumpers. Until south willow opens having a Tesla has become increasingly a pain in the ass. Thought about selling but I bought a piece of land and plan to build a Net Zero house. I would not recommend an EV if you live in apartment, Range Anxiety sucks.
Perhaps Tesla should offer a reduced charging cost for off-premises parking Stopped by this morning Thursday 3/30 still no transformer and no additional wiring since the last posted photos.
