I supercharged 68 times on a trip this summer and on some of them, I saw cellular antennas on the supercharger units. Strangely, each supercharger had its own antenna, rather than sharing the data connection...

Not so strange really. If they're modular, then it's simple to expand the number of chargers at a location. It's also redundancy, so the whole lot doesn't go dark because of a single unit failure.I supercharged 68 times on a trip this summer and on some of them, I saw cellular antennas on the supercharger units.

Getting further off-topic, I'm curious what beach you are on in that pic.[Getting off topic, but since you asked...] It was a 15,400 km cross-US road trip: MI, IL, IA, NE, CO, UT, WY, MT, ID, WA, OR, SD, MN, WI. Supercharging worked out great - just one time we had to wait because 2 out of 4 stalls were down. We also charged about a dozen times at slower chargers - restaurants, grocery stores, parking garages, a 14-50 at Old Faithful, etc. and once at a Chademo in Portland.
Here's me anointing the car with Pacific Ocean water:

Next summer we'll do the same with Atlantic Ocean water.
The main event was the solar eclipse, which we saw in Weiser, Idaho - spectacular! The last total eclipse I saw in North America was Feb 26, 1979 in Gimli, Manitoba... with you! Still a great memory!

You don't have to wait so long for the next one as it is in less than seven years on April 8, 2024. And it will be much closer to home:

We’ve started anyway. I think only one is online so far.For those who blinked, Nova Scotia now has a population of DCFC (ChaDeMo & CCS, not Tesla) under construction on PlugShare. We're still behind the rest of the east, but this is a pretty good network for travelling around the province.
(I'll also post this on Eastern Canadian, if it's not there already).
Is the old Sun Country Highway charger still working a the far end of the parking lot? In the old days that charger was invaluable for going to the Maritimes.Rather old news, but in October, Hotel universel: the hosts of the RDL Supercharger, installed 2 new FLO G5 chargers alongside the Superchargers, which is more convenient for nightly use and during overflow Supercharger times.View attachment 368704
Yes it still is, but there’s been negative feedback that was always in use so the hotel decided to install more than 1.Is the old Sun Country Highway charger still working a the far end of the parking lot? In the old days that charger was invaluable for going to the Maritimes.
Good. So that makes three for overnight charging for hotel guests.Yes it still is, but there’s been negative feedback that was always in use so the hotel decided to install more than 1.
