Wiki Superchargers Visited

**** NOTE: We have transitioned to a new platform ****
More Info: Supercharging.Life database​

This is a friendly contest for Tesla owners to track the number of unique public Superchargers where they have charged

- "Supercharger count" is the number of unique public Superchargers where you have charged (just being there does not count), whether or not you were the person plugging in the vehicle (such as a Valet Parking garage or a Passenger) and whether or not it was your own personal vehicle (such as a rental, a loaner, or a friend's Tesla) as long as you were the one who drove >50% of the distance to reach the charger(s).
- The list of chargers in the supercharging.life database are the ones included in the game. If you think one should be added or removed from the list, let us know.
- Only chargers available to the public without special permission are included in the game.
- Chargers not connected to the grid are not counted.
- Doublet locations like the North/South Supercharger 'pairs' in CT, ME, NH, etc. count as individual locations.
- More than 1 charger at the same address, such as Lenox Square Mall (Atlanta, GA) or Montgomery Mall (Bethesda, MD) count as individual locations when they appear as a separate location on the Tesla Nav screen.
- Inactive competitors will be archived and removed from the leaderboard. Just post an update to be reactivated.

See Supercharging.Life database for info on how to post your own visits to the database (preferred), or post your locations with date visited to this thread and one of the admins will update your list for you. All visits must be posted to this thread - not just entered in supercharging.life. If you are the first in the game to visit a supercharger location, please post to the thread as soon as you can so others know it has been visited.

@theflyer, maybe put that in terms of miles per charger because out in the Midwest you might only pass TWO previously visited chargers to reach a new one. =)

Even in the great middle part of the country, the density is still much greater than when I first got my car in 2016. On my first big road trip, I had no choice but to use chademo adapter around the Atlanta area and then also in the Huntsville area. the same route today would be easily traversable by any Tesla on the road using only the supercharger network. regarding the DC to New York segment, I forget exactly the status in September 2016 but I don't think there was more than one or two superchargers between DC itself and New York City. There are now at least 15 depending on how you count.

I totally agree. I got my car in 2017 and I remember times when I used to use the J1772 adapter to charge up my car. Not any more though. I can't recall the last time I used that thing now. Heck, I just did the 10 day road trip and added 70 plus chargers and only once used anything but a Tesla Supercharger (mostly to say I did...charge up at the Kennedy Space Center...and get my sweet new profile pic).

They've come a long way from back then...even in my home state. We have another three under construction again...which I'm sure will bring the leaders of this game back here very soon after those are finished.

One metric I usually am aware of is how far is the nearest unvisited charger from home. 800-1000 miles is typical when I embark on a trip.

It's still amazing to me that we've reached the point where I will have to pass so many superchargers to get to a new one I have not yet visite

Try living on the West Coast. I have to drive 400 miles to catch a charger at this point and if they don't start opening them fast I'll be more like 1000 miles. I look at that run from DC to NYC with great lust. Looks like you could walk between chargers.

I think the most useful metric might be something like Miles between superchargers over time. Another might be number a superchargers within 50 miles of a major city center.

I don't quite understand this statement. When I visited California almost exactly a year ago, I cleared out everything South and Napa valley. Yet only 12 months later, there's something like 20 or more superchargers that came online.

 

[israndy]

Yeah, I had a big SoCal and Washington trip, other than the new Fontana and Corona chargers I have finished the West Coast. All the trips I am planning involve a lot of repeat travel.

C'mon @Randy Spencer - they are opening so many locations in California you could just keep driving up and down the state logging new superchargers.

I think that RandyS was referring to the fact that one can leave California for other parts only going north into Oregon or east into Nevada and Arizona. (Ignoring Mexico.) The major highways that leave California are US101, I5, US97, US395, I80, US50, I15, I40, I10, I8. Very little new construction is happening currently on these highways. Laytonville on US 101 is under construction. Urban chargers are finished in Fontana, and two are scheduled for the greater Palm Springs metropolitan area. Construction on intra-state highways is ongoing in Chico and Big Sur. A second SC is underway in Fairfield.

About 15 lesser highways leave California, but they do not have Superchargers, and likely will not (despite Tesla's claims to erect two SC on SR139 in Newell and Adin) ever see one as those roads are not heavily traveled, have a dearth of suitable locations, and existing Supercharger installations are convenient to access these lightly traveled highways.

But to leave California to score Superchargers elsewhere, we have to take the same old highways and use the same SC. Highway density outside the coastal metropolitan areas and Sac is much, much less than in most of the eastern part of the country.

Leave California? Why? One can join the century club and be in the top 50 without ever leaving the state.

Oh. ;-( Not too worried about NYC as I'm staying off the main part of the island. I still have two more to get in Manhattan proper but after the experience of Mott Street, I'm kinda over Manhattan itself.

What was your Mott Street experience like?

Nice find! Updated in spreadsheet.

Highway 50, the loneliest road in America, cause there are no Superchargers on it.

Yeah, I could be more patient, but just catching new SuC's isn't as fun as that massive SoCal trip was. This game would be easier on the East Coast.

Could be worse, could live in Wyoming

Exactly—I return to CA every few months to pick up a half dozen new chargers. Glad it wasn’t just me who was scratching my head at the west coast comment

You might as well because that's about the speed you'll be going when driving... Blah... Traffic there is about as bad as the Bay Area around San Fran.

Um.... I live on a peninsula...so take that "same old highways" statement and then add in the crappy quality of Michigan roads.

After all my talk yesterday about not using my J1772 in who knows how long...I ended up using it later in the same day.

I went to an "Earth Day" Electric car event here in Rochester and there just happened to be an EV charging station right across the street from the event. It was a great parking spot too...and saved me the $15 public parking fee that they wanted a little farther up the street.
