I believe the speed factor in EVtripplanner is based on the average speed on the highway, not the speed limit. So unless you're planning to drive 10% faster than everyone else, you should be fine using a speed factor of 1.0.

Supercharger - West Lebanon NH
- Thread starter tga
- Start date
If you stay in downtown at a place with destination charging, you will shave 10 miles off the trip, so range is not really an issue in the Summer, except maybe for people with 60s.
The mention of 10/30 is interesting, because two years ago that location was actually projected to host the first Supercharger in Quebec. However, sometime in late 2013 its dot disappeared when the one for Drummondville showed up.
Fast forward to Jan '15 when the 2-stall site at the Montreal center was awaiting utility hookup. TM refreshed the projected Supercharger maps and a dot reappeared a bit West of 10/30 for 2016, but curiously there was nothing for the center's Superchargers. Then, when those two pedestals went live in Montreal, the 2016 dot on A-30 on the South shore once again disappeared.
It would be a nice location, but South Burlington will also work for most people heading to Ottawa or Montreal from New England. For the exceptions, a Supercharger at 10/55 in Magog wouldn't be a bad idea.

Live, from West Lebanon. Quick stop by Panera for a bowl of soup, now into Price chopper to shop for the family.

Saw two S's there charging today: a silvergray-ish one and a nice brown color that I haven't seen in person before. The brown one went past me in traffic moments later. A lovely color.

Charging here now. First stall was charging around 200mi/hr...switched to another and it's at 169mi/hr. I was at Hooksett earlier and it was charging at 300+ right of the bat but tapered sharply to the mid to low 200's when I got over 200 miles remaining battery left. Should have just waited for Burlington to charge, too much time wasted in traffic for not enough miles!
I stopped here for a charge for the first time on Friday night, October 14, 2016. We approached the site from the north (from a motel near I-89), using the navigation system for guidance. The Nav got us into the approximate location, but pointed to an area of the parking lot in front of the supermarket. We drove around for 5 minutes or more (it seemed longer because we had friends with us and it was embarrassing!), looking for the doggone charging stalls. Finally we found the location at the side of the building, completely out of sight from the entrance -- and hundreds of yards from where the Nav arrow was pointing on the screen! Once we got there it was great, of course. Except that another issue is that it is confusing to figure out which side of the kiosks to park on. Another car was there already so we followed their lead, and realized we had parked on the wrong side and had to move so that the cord would reach. (The clue is to see which way the "Tesla parking only" signs face -- towards the street, away from the building). So, minor problem.
Later in the weekend, on Sunday, we went there again before starting our trip back to Mass., approaching from the south (coming north on Rte. 12A), and of course you can see the superchargers easily from the road in daylight.
Got a good charge rate there both times, so no complaints there. And waited out the charge with food at Panera Bread nearby!

As a heads up, there was a posting on plugshare this afternoon that output at West Leb is severely limited. Best to stop at Berlin or Hooksett if heading up/down 89 until someone reports it OK. My car is too full to effectively test them this weekend.

All stations seem fine, despite the nav system still reporting "reduced service"
Just tested all 8 stations - all delivered <100 kW into a P85, starting with a warm battery @ 20%.
Charged to 20%->90% normally.

Quick "splash-n-go" yesterday (25%->50%); saw over 90kW.
I don't know how they decided "reduced service," but I've never seen a problem during the past 2 weeks
It's not marked as slow anymore, but it is still slow.
Hit 109kW at 31%, but quickly fell to 83kW at 38% and didn't get much better for the rest of the charge, kept tapering off. Went to hooksett immediately after, peaked at 112kW at 45% not tapering to under 84kW until ~65%. Hooksett is roughly about 20kW faster for large portions of charge, probably around 29kW better at peak.
