Supercharger - Ozark, AR

[bkp_duke]

This just ticked #3 on my SC want list. We used to live in OK.
#1 was North Dakota as my husband does contract work for the state of ND.
#2 will take a lot longer--there are NO SC's in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! The towns have no recent updates nor do the Meijer locations; the permit is active--just no activity! It would be fun and breathtaking to make the Lake Michigan Circle tour but significant range anxiety and expensive without a SC in Escanaba. Mackinac City got one in June which lets you tiptoe for a while into the UP. Mackinaw Island and the UP should be on bucket lists; 148 of Michigan's 150 waterfalls are in the UP.

Chademo adapter, perhaps?

Not a single one!

I hope this goes online before Labor Day weekend! Probably not, but I hope.

@CarlA did you ask the crew where their next install is?

Just got the photo from the AR EV owners Facebook page. Probably will head out there in the next week.

Several years ago I said I'd buy a Tesla once there were Superchargers in Arkansas. We bought a Model Y about 4 weeks ago (and promptly drove to the east coast where we are now ...). More Superchargers in Arkansas is going to make visiting home so much easier. And so many more people are going to be able to drive I-40 worry free.

Are there official channels for recommending Supercharger sites? Not that I have any bias ... but this spot in Conway, AR, seems pretty perfect right in the middle of a bunch of hotels and chain resturants.

Try the form at the bottom of this page: Charging Partners | Tesla

The top of the page refers to superchargers too, so it’s not just for destination chargers. I’ve suggested a site with this form once and they placed it down the street a couple of years later. For the contact information, you can put your own information and for contact type you can put Tesla Owner. In the additional comments I basically put down what made the site attractive as a supercharging site.

Stopped by this morning. Plugged in but no power yet. The cashier inside thought they would be open next week.

 

[garrett5688]

Seemed to go fast. Hope they are moving to more I40 locations...

 

[CarlA]

Just called the store and they’re now saying the supercharger is supposed to be open next week.

Great news Carl! Looking forward to plugging in at Ozark soon. My car looks almost identical to yours!

Yes you read that correctly!

As posted on the supercharge.info forum by a new user "Jay" - Supercharger - Ozark, AR, US



However I'd like to get some confirmation before putting it on supercharge.info. Any locals want to drive by, or give them a call?

Green dot is where it would be relative to existing superchargers - distances are 145 mi to Catoosa, 85 mi to Lowell, 126 mi to Little Rock.

The Supercharger is built, but still not functional on September 2, 2020.

Wow, I'm stunned. I'd been watching Supercharger rollout the past few years and they always seem to take months. This will be great for my future trip to Colorado!

Finally plugging the hole on I-40!!!


W00t!!!!!!

Couldn't have said this better myself. We don't have our Tesla yet but I was considering buying a CHAdeMO adapter for this dead spot. We live in Memphis and have family in North-Central Oklahoma and the gap between Little Rock and Tulsa was too big.

I still recommend the Chademo. I've found it VERY useful over the years.
