Supercharger - St. Charles, MO

Interesting this Supercharger is still not listed on Tesla's website. It's still Coming soon! Must be an oversight. We charged there the past weekend so we know for a fact it's there :tongue:.

However, it shows open in Find Us.

Yeah I noticed that too.

It appears that the "Find Us" page is database driven and the "Supercharger Maps" seem to be manually edited, and more error prone.

looking at the future stations does it look like Plaza Frontenac is the next super charging station?

2 miles from my house? Eek! I could finally earn the letter regarding local supercharging abuse that Tesla prematurely sent me.

Logistically I would think something closer to I44 or I55 would make more sense, but who am I to argue? Oh wait.....

Would seem silly to place it that close to St. Charles. Why not a bit more South West... at least the I-44/I-270 junction. For my personal convenience somewhere like Eureka would be ideal, but that doesn't help out the folks traveling North East/South East of the city.

It looks like it is at the Sales/Service Center but I would like it to be near Forest Park, and convenient to I64 and I44.

The Zoo expansion area would be cool.

It's really hard to tell where these icons are pointing. Look at Columbia for example. On top of that, these maps are projections, not precise plans. My guess is that the next one in/around St Louis will be near I-44.

Supercharger wasn't putting out more than 30 amps last night, tesla support informed

Bummer! Were you able to get a better charge rate from another stall?

 

[greencharge]

I tried 1a, 2a and 2b and there wasn't any difference, this was about midnight, was on the phone with supercharger support for about 15 min. Didn't return to the supercharger later

I had trouble with this SC not keeping a steady charging level on Nov. 25 around 12:30 AM. It would ramp up the amps then hit a peak and drop back down to nearly zero and start over again. I tried 1A, 2A, and 3A stalls. I called Tesla service and they said they would follow up, but presumed it was a utility issue. I noted it on the PlugShare.com site.

Just be aware in case you are relying on this charger.

Just a follow up: it was working normally again yesterday.

I used this SC on 12/27, while detouring around a closed section of I-70 (Flooding). I like this spot - a better selection of restaurants, some not chains, than the others along I-70 in Missouri and Illinois. I did notice a lower than usual amperage (and was the only car charging), but didn't report it because at the time because it was not *bad*. A good compliment to the destination chargers downtown (including a NEMA 14-50 at the Hyatt/Arch that isn't well documented.

It seems to be flaky again based on recent PlugShare comments (see below). Can one of you locals swing by and check it out and call in if it's really the case? My experience in November is that it ramped up in amps, then died, then ramped up again, then died, and finally settled on a very poor charge rate. When I called it in at the time, Tesla said that it might be a utility issue, but they would check in to it.

I'm hoping to come through in February and could really use this one.

Thanks in advance!

PowerPlay Jan 20, 2016 1:53 PMAmps 0 on all 5 chargers as of about noon today. Volts high but amps quickly trickle to zero.


PowerPlay Jan 20, 2016 11:22 AMTried all 5 chargers. Starts with a few amps then falls back to 0. Managed to add 50 miles by switching from charger to charger. It's 32 degrees now so don't know what's going on.

Just tried this charger tonight and can report that problems still continue! Pulled into charger 1A with ~110 mi. left and got 250A for a good 3 minutes before it cut out and refused to deliver more than 120A. Switched between chargers several times as it would sometimes die completely or charge at a measly 10 amps. Managed to get 50 miles of charge before finally giving up. Sounds like the same issue you were having back in November.

Will ring in soon and try to see what's going on.

I tried today and it was cutting out completely. I managed to charge at 75 amps for a bit before it cut out (my battery was a bit cold to be fair). It seems to work better on warmer days.

Thanks for the information. Our MS is two months old and we are going from Dayton to ABQ next month. I will order a CHAdeMO adapter this evening! The Best Western on 5th St looks like the best bet.

I live in the area. I drove past the charger on the highway today and noticed the marker in the nav screen showed it as having decreased service. So the car knew something was wrong from a mile away.
