Supercharger - Silverthorne, CO

Hopefully they'll add a new v3 location on the east side of I-70 and then come back and upgrade the existing location to v3.

I’m assuming it’s a replacement of V2’s for V3 or an entirely new station. They probably have enough charging session data to know its always a packed station.

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone tried the Electrify America chargers in Frisco with an adapter? Could they be used as a backup for when these SC are full/inoperable?

I believe they only have one CHAdeMO plug there. You could use it with the $400 Tesla CHAdeMO adapter but it would only charge at up to 50 kW. That's a lot slower than a typical Supercharger charging session but would be better than a level 2 charge.

If Tesla ever comes out with a CCS adapter, you could charge at any of the 4 CCS plugs.

It's odd as they just added 4 more v2 stations. If they were going to upgrade the existing location to v3, you'd think they would've added 4 v3 and then eventually converted the other 8 over to v3.

If they put in a new V3 at least put it at the Frisco exit, but better yet would be the west side of Vail pass

I agree that was odd why add two v2 cabinets when they could have added one v3 cabinet for those 4 stalls. I wonder if power coming in has something to do with it since I feel like even in summer it’s always slow.

Wow, the Silverthorne supercharger was a zoo this morning. Sad. It didn't help that one stall was ICE'd, a charging Tesla blocked two stalls, and one stall was broken.

There's a new thread for the upcoming Kum & Go Supercharger here: Supercharger - Silverthorne, CO - Ruby Ranch Rd

@MarcoRP can you update the Discuss link on supercharge.info ? Thanks!

We tried to charge our S100D at this location this morning and none of the 3 Superchargers that we tried worked. We received a notification in the vehicle that the "Charge cable not fully secured. Please adjust the connection to improve charging." We tried but couldn't get it to work. In the app, it showed like it was plugged into a destination charger. It is cold in Silverthorne this morning (27F) but we've charged in much colder weather without difficulties in the past. Hopefully it wasn't just user error.

We'll try again later this afternoon...or probably just use the Ruby Ranch Road location down the street.

Cold weather superchargers really need a different method to reattach the cables to the stall. Over half of the connectors are stuck in the snow because they’re too solid in 10 degree weather for that little clip to hold them.
