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.

Half a year ago, I thought I was going to be very actively hitting superchargers. Instead, I've been a bit of a hermit. Anyway, I visited another supercharger yesterday, and have updated the spreadsheet: North Bethesda, MD.

@PLUS EV the Meijers and the newer WaWas are dementia-land E of the big river.

@DavidB your dogs will lead you on the next trip! E Coast corridor has gotta be much easier than SoCal, time wise.

We will do Custer again this year, likely in one car, likely the 3. Post Custer I wanted all of TX plus a few outliers, but even that is up in the air.

Hope to see everyone there!

Life happens. Plans change. Otherwise, we'd be robots and that wouldn't be any fun.

@theflyer It seems like we are the only active spousal couple both engaged in the game. If you hear of any others, that would be time for a new visualization with ours totaled. Taken together, we’ve got @Darren S solo by 56!

There is/was a group of people that went under the handle "elonbear" but they haven't been active. Given how we've configured the spreadsheet and Tableau, it is unlikely we'll add a combined total.

Day 34 - the last day. Drove 434 miles and picked up four new Superchargers. Driving time 8:18, Supercharging 1:04.

777. Madison, VA
778. North Bethesda, MD
779. Rockville, MD
780. Frederick, MD

We decided to scratch Hanover, MD and leave it for another day. The DC/Baltimore traffic got to us and we decided to head home from Frederick via Harrisburg and avoid the whole I-95 mess through Philly as well.

Here are my overall trip stats (according to TeslaFi):
Started Jan 15
Ended Feb 17
11,544 miles driven
13,751 Rated Miles used
366 Wh/mile average
98 New Superchargers visited
118 miles per new Supercharger

Total driving time: 199 hrs 56 mins
Average speed 57.7 mph
Total Supercharging time: 51 hrs 11 mins

This last part doesn't quite add up - not sure why:

Total kWh used: 4,221
kWh added at Superchargers: 3,456
kWh added at destination chargers: 428.4

I think I’m going to have to get TeslaFi. These stats and maps are really nice.

You definitely should. It's worth every penny. I wish I had had it with my first Model S, then I'd have really complete records. (btw, the average speed was my own calculation. I was curious what it was overall - I'm surprised it's as high as it was - all that Texas 80 mph speed limit I guess.)

57 MPH is excellent, especially with the 95 kW max charge rate.

I’m annoyed that I didn’t buy TeslaFi when we got the car back in 2018. Sigh.

It looks like @kk7p has stealthily taken 10th place from @Thinkje

 

[Darren S]

I randomly had a photo pop up in my Facebook memories noting my 100th supercharger, 3 years ago on this date. So apparently I was counting them even before I knew of this contest It was Fresno, CA on Valentine's Day and the love affair with superchargers has not subsided in the 3 years since!

Anyways, if someone could change my #100 century milestone to February 2017, that would be GREAT. It currently says May 2017, but that's because that's when I learned of this contest and joined the game by submitting the 100+ superchargers that I had already visited at that point.

@PLUS EV, my 4-yr anniversary was this past weekend (Feb 15, 2016) and I've also loved the Supercharger game ever since the first week when I took a 400-mile trip to Louisville. Charge on!

<snip> 600, plus I survived a 14hr/day with my wife?

Oh, you must mean clearing NV. Had that been one of the goals, I could have dragged her up earlier and gotten Tigard and cleared OR. No separate visualization required for my paltry ~7 cleared.

For future duo-players traveling in one car, the Mt. Shasta pair worked out great. I drove Red Bluff to Shasta2. Got electrons. @Shesmyne2" drove to Shasta1, got electrons, then drove back to Shasta2 where we waited until we had enough to let me drive to Reno2. Gotta play by the rules.

Funny story: when we left Shasta for Reno, I remarked that this was probably a new road in a Tesla for both of us (I knew I had done it by ICE, more than a decade ago). Looking ahead, I noted a Destination Charger in Susanville, ya know, just in case. Since it was public, we figured we’d stop at the Red Lion even for a few extra Rated miles and a pee break As we were pulling in, I looked over and said, “hey, we stayed here! Both of us!” History shows we did in early 2017. Early dementia?

Congrats on 600, @NKYTA ! Maybe you'll take 4th place from ME this time on your Custer trip (as in payback when I just passed you when I arrived at my first Custer event in 2018). I might not be there this year but will gladly support your run. Well done on the combined total reaching the 700 Club but don't forget that my 668 (at the moment) are all in one car and with one driver so I think I still have that title (since the "everyone is a winner" rule plays here).

I love the "rules" playing at Mt Shasta but you could have even gone one step farther. I believe the 'loose' rule there is you should drive >50% of the distance to the location you are claiming so you could have driven from the first Mt Shasta one to the end of the large parking lot (or from the Hotel to the access road) then switch drivers and it would have counted for her. I wonder if folks in the Hotel saw the same car arrive, leave soon after, then return again and were scratching their heads.

I DID purposely match my wardrobe for Delivery Day (red on top and black on bottom)

@Big Earl, I've had Teslafi since Summer 2016 and agree with @JSergeant that it is quite fun and also helpful and worth every penny. It missed my first big road trip to Houston (but I did the same trip a year later so it captured the route driven anyway but missed some of the overall stats). It's still fun to see the data for 130,000 miles of driving (out of the 145,000 miles on the car). Start logging things on your car and it will be just one more slice of the supercharger game pie that is entertaining.

It looks like my grand total during Teslafi of 130,751 miles driven in 110.5 days or 2,652.2 hrs is 49.3 mph average. It's also 300 Wh/mi which isn't too bad for a 4-season vehicle and a lot of highway miles (~90%?). It is also 1,193 total supercharger visits at 651 locations (in TeslaFi but 668 total) for an additional ~29.5 days of charging or 35 minutes average per charge. Love that $0.00 cost of supercharging.

57 seems amiss. 50 is my theoretical max. And I was under 40 getting out of WY because I needed those 2+ hour range charges. 100s and 3s can do better charging at 150 kW+

The 57 mph is just the average driving speed (total miles driven divided by total hours driving) - does not include charging time. Including charging time it would be 46 mph.

Either one is pretty good considering that the average speed around DC, LA and SF was probably more like 20 mph!

That makes more sense. I averaged about 57 MPH including charging time on my trip to Austin, including lots of running around urban areas collecting chargers. I could probably get 60+ out west with higher speed limits and fewer Supercharger stops.

 

[Bighorn]

If you look at the cross country record of 45 hours where they drove full tilt and not in AP because of the 90 mph limit, they averaged about 63 mph.

I think Kyle from Out Of Spec Motoring over-drove a portion of that trip. He also got caught up in a bit of traffic and some other minor hiccups.

According to Bjorn Nyland, the ideal driving speed is right around 106 MPH. I think there are very few situations where exceeding that is beneficial due to the ever-increasing aerodynamic drag. On his 24 hour world record run, he managed 72.4 MPH over 24 hours (1,738 miles) on an unlimited section of the German Autobahn in nearly ideal conditions with a pit crew. Bjorn was using the Ionity network in Europe with 180 kW max ... some improvement could probably be had on v3 Superchargers.

Trevor from Tesla Owners Online and Rafael from TesLatino were able to do 1,600 miles in 24 hours, for an average speed of nearly 67 MPH. If we assume that's an ideal travel speed without getting arrested here in the US, a perfect Cannonball run would be right around 42 hours, about 3 hours faster than Kyle's trip. That said, there's a big difference between a N/S route and an E/W route.

The cannonball average speed also isn't directly comparable to a more normal road trip where you stop to sleep and charge overnight. Overnight charging can boost your average driving+supercharging speed. 60 MPH isn't difficult in a Model 3 if you start each day with a full charge and travel <1000 miles per day, all while mostly respecting the speed limit (10% over or AP @ 90 MPH, whichever is less).
