The short answer is that it is 195 miles from Rancho Cucamonga to Lone Pine. That is considered a problem in California, although they would like to have such problems in Missouri.

Amazing find! I've been searching the Kern Co. website for permits every few days, but obviously have not been doing it correctly.
Looks like Anthony's is the only option around. It would be a long walk to Fast Food Row.
Given the desolate nature of Mojave, and the quantity of shops and restaurants that are boarded up, I would find it astonishing if we were to ever find a single ICE'd spot!
Given that Elon is already in the EV/Solar/Space business, one would think that it is time for them to open their own food chain :wink:

Here are two photos of the site of the future Mojave Supercharger taken Jan. 7, 2015:
Anthony's is open for business, we had lunch there. The parking stalls were occupied as you can see.
Of the few Superchargers I have visited, none had taken parking space from a business.
It certainly looks an ICE potential here.

Cottonwood, I did not see any astronaut stuff, no.
I noticed they still have their Christmas tree up.
A nice little place, I'd eat there again.
Now, lets get working on the Supercharger!

Because the rest of the parking that won't be ice'd is either in the middle of the lot or not convenient to the power supply.
Id guess anthony's probably chose to give up the spaces.

OOOOO I hope so... I can't wait to EV an ICE-hole... With the pull-in spots it's possible to parallel park behind the ICE and still plug-in. :tongue:
Excited about Mojave... this plus Primm is REALLY going to take A LOT of stress off Barstow. I've charged to >180 rated miles and still BARELY made it to Tejon on the way north. PLUS with Mojave it should be easy to go directly to Harris and save some time.

Great to see a Supercharger in Mojave, but this location seems a bit weird. From the pictures it looks like the parking spots are normally full.

At 0:40 it looks like there is an area with a white van parked, that seems more like a idea spot for the superchargers to me....

The Mojave Desert is the perfect place to put a Supercharge with a solar canopy. I really wish they would have rolled out more stations with solar. The shade lets you charge faster because you don't have to run the air conditioner so hard while you sit in your car waiting to charge.

This Mojave location will allow us to bypass LA entirely on trips to/from The Bay Area from Phoenix/Tucson/Texas and the deep south. It may add a few miles but the scenic value is well worth it! I wish for I-10 from Phoenix AZ into Texas to be completed sooner than scheduled on Tesla's 2016 map. I-20 from I-10 to Dalles TX also. It's great to watch the supercharger buildout...I just want it all done yesterday:tongue: PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES!! ALWAYS
