Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

[K5ING]

Denton Supercharger. Work started this morning, supposed to be open by Nov. 1.

You may want to investigate Victoria, TX...

There are 17 new Superchargers planned for Texas, according to the 2016 Supercharger map, but it looks like there is still a big hole on IH-10. There appear to be Superchargers in Fort Stockton, Pecos, and El Paso, but it's nominally about 240 miles from Fort Stockton to El Paso on IH-10, according to Google Maps. On IH-20 it's about 220 miles from Pecos to El Paso.

Maybe they will surprise us and put a Supercharger in Van Horn next year too.

For those of us with 60's, Superchargers in Baytown and Kerrville would also make it possible to cross Texas on IH-10 using only Superchargers.

 

[TXjak]

For what it's worth, here's my best guess at the 17 upcoming locations listed on this Supercharger graphic: 2016 Superchargers | Tesla Motors

1. Tyler
2. Fort Worth
3. Cisco
4. Sweetwater
5. Odessa
6. Pecos
7. El Paso
8. Sulphur Springs
9. Rosenberg
10. Victoria
11. Calallen, Corpus Cristi
12. Raymondville
13. San Antonio
14. Sonora
15. Sheffield
16. Fort Stockton
17. Three Rivers

Here is a page with them grouped by corridor with mileage between and notations of "missing" Superchargers.

i've heard from reliable sources that a Supercharger is coming soon to Lindale, TX. That could be the start of an I-20 route to Jackson, MS. Maybe Shreveport, LA and Monroe, LA in between, for nicely spaced Superchargers... Keep your eyes open out there!

Google Maps — Lindale, Tx - Shreveport, LA - Monroe, LA - Jackson, MS

Colin Steeet Bakery location was discussed in the Lindale thread.

This would be nice (e.g. Lindale ... then a few others to Jackson). Easy traipse thru Hattiesburg to Mobile and then on to the beaches. That is my traditional route anyway.

As of now, it is down to Hunstville and then I-10. I would prefer I-20, as it will take time off the trip. But at least there is a corridor that exists TODAY.

Gonna have to go over to the wiki and have a look.

Slidell is under construction now. Anticipated completion February. Just FYI.

Reliable sources tell me to look west from DFW on I-20 towards Cisco and Sweetwater.

Happy sleuthing...

Great news!

Cisco makes it a bit of a nail-biter for westbound thru traffic from Lindale... into the wind... in the winter... or even the summer running at normal traffic speeds (i.e fast). Maybe they'll put it closer in towards dfw.

I guess that's true with a 60 or 70. With my 85 I've gone from DFW to Lindale and back and had plenty left over (60 miles IIRC).

Redi has a point. According to EVTripplanner, going 1.0 speed limit, 40 degrees outside, 225lb payload with 72 interior temp, 85D = 286 rated miles from Lindale to Cisco. Essentially undoable without a chademo stop in DFW.

 

[Electroman]

Lindale to Cisco is 228 miles. Doable in 85 under any weather. Difficult in 70. Not doable under any circumstances in 60.

I beg to differ. As I just mentioned, EVTripplanner (which is fairly accurate) has it as 274 Rated Miles in 40 degree weather going with the flow of traffic (I had initially just used Lindale as a city, instead of the proposed SC at Collin Street Bakery). Take it down to 32 degrees and 400lbs of cargo (not unreasonable for a long distance trip), and you're looking at 284 rated miles one way. Which is not doable in an 85. Mine has 20k miles and my 100% charge is right at 262. So I'm a full 40 miles short accounting for my buffer.

*The key is, it's a net elevation change of 1109 feet going from Lindale to Cisco.

 

[Chris TX]

My guess is the HIE in Eastland, TX followed by the HIE in Sweetwater, TX and the one in Midland, TX. The next pin is in Pecos, but I'm not seeing a location that jumps out at me. That's where the 2016 pins line up on the map.

 

[TXjak]

There would also seem to be a pin missing for Van Horn, TX -- at least for 60s and 70s and 3s. Maybe they're in stealth mode for that one?

supercharge.info now shows the Cisco location with a permit.

Tesla Charging Station Coming to Cisco

 

[NOLA_Mike]

While not exactly in Texas it is sort of "Texas adjacent" and in case you guys don't follow in the Southeast Section, the Jackson, MS Supercharger is open for business!

 

[cgiGuy]

Wow.. this isn't even on supercharge.info as a "permitted" or "in construction" site.
