Supercharger - Ozona, TX - 14th St

Heading here next. I’m at Fort Stockton now - waited an hour to get a charger. Currently 12 cars in line.

Wow!

It's on the phone app -

The old one is still open - and it shows as being full.

Since the new one doesn't show up in the app yet, perhaps there will be enough who don't about the new one and you can get a charge there.

Even once it does show up in the car's nav, Plugshare, the app, etc, it'll still have more than twice the capacity that the old one does, since it has double the number of stalls and isn't limited to the 75kW load sharing like the older one is, so there'll be much shorter lines

Yeah, still a 5 min wait and the old one with only 6 stalls, and Ft. Stockton is still experiencing a wait. People are traveling late!

Yesterday at 3 PM there were only a few Teslas at the new V3 in Ozona. A maximum of 3. Too bad I had to charge at the EA down the street since I ate at Sonic anyways...

This supercharger has been open since Apr 8 according to signs someone put on the other Ozona SC stalls. I charged at this new one today while two other cars were charging. It should be marked open on supercharge.info.

Actually, Supercharge.info posted it as open on April 5.

Finally made it to the long awaited location. We had it all to ourselves!

You’re not kidding about scrapers on 14th St (the access road). Ave F just before Sonic (westbound) was fine and a good way to access the parking lot. But roads west of there had really steep drops off of 14th St and lots of scrapes from trailers or whatever gouging the road. Yuck.

We were just here coming back also from Voca to Cali and also saw the "glitch" with not showing this location as compared to the old one (like when heading out last week) but we stopped anyways and glad we did but what I don't understand is this???

This site looks new, seems new, but I walked around to all the stalls and looks and the plugs (we were only car there at the moment) and all the plugs look heavily worn/ used already.. so i wonder if they are just recycling used equipment?? Cause no way those plug are ""fresh"..

We got stuck going out at the old site.. even a Cyber was waiting to charge with a trailer.. . so the new site is much appreciated!

Online and running.

Sonic, Holiday Inn Express are adjacent to it.

The Las Cruces, New Mexico Supercharger site also looked a bit like that. However, that was because it was in the ground for a good 6 months just bagged up waiting for the site host business to open. The bags don't prevent dust or rain from soaking through and leaving a light coating of mud.

If you or anyone else could take photos, it would help isolate the premature wear on the NACS plugs.
