Supercharger - Trinidad, CO

[runelind]

How busy is this supercharger usually? Planning to drive down on a Thursday in Feb from South Denver to Santa Fe. Plan is to stop for lunch in Trinidad and then either stop in Las Vegas, NM or at the supercharger in Santa Fe (even though it is a little bit out of the way). Hopefully there will be some kind of plug at the airbnb we're staying at

Usually not too busy, I think the highest number of Tesla vehicles I’ve seen there at one time is maybe 3 or 4.

I've been to Trinidad 8 or 10 times, never seen over four of us charging at one time.

Los Vegas SC is at a nice Motel just off the interstate.

Santa Fe is a little farther off the interstate, it's a bit of a walk to the mostly deserted mall that it is located at.

1A very unhealthy and danced between 40-90kWh at 15% SOC. 3B meanwhile ramped up straight to 140+ and stayed above 100 all the way to the mid 60’s.

I've never seen more than 4 cars in Trinidad. The mexican restaurant next door is pretty good.

Santa Fe is only a few minutes off the Interstate and while the outlet mall is mostly empty, the bathrooms are open and clean.

What could be better than buds and bud?

ABRP doesn't currently show Trinidad on my route. Can someone supply some current information re: Supercharger?
Thanks.

Plugshare is a good resource: PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You

Recent reports indicate 3/6 chargers have been down...

Just charged there couple days ago. It was working but slow, and crowded. Not the best location. Check PlugShare

 

[Pianewman]

It's the only Supercharger between Clayton, NM and CO Springs. I'll check out PlugShare, will need appropriate adapters.

I charged here a few days ago and the station was full but no one had to wait as the stalls were turning over timely. No issues with the charging rate other than normal reduction while paired.

 

[Pianewman]

Were all 6 chargers fully functional?

 

[garrett5688]

FWIW recent PlugShare checkins saying that Tesla serviced this station and all 6 are working

Were all 6 chargers fully functional?

Yes

I was last here about a month ago. Similar to most of the stops on I-25 from here all the way to El Paso - little to no grass and lots of 'goat head' thorns. My dog won't get out of the car at this stop anymore since he stepped on one here before. Wishful thinking that these stops could be more pet friendly?
No one has mentioned what that odd 4x plug Tesla charger thing is off to the side here. I haven't tried to use it and haven't taken pics. My assumption was that it was some sort of Tesla Semi-related charger? Anyone know what that's for?
