The Southern Supercharger "Arc of Doom"

[AB4EJ]

What is the lawsuit about?

Recently took pics and video of the abandoned Greenville supercharger and posted to this thread:

Supercharger - Greenville, SC - Page 31

Scroll up a little too see the video links

Can anyone provide any info about what the lawsuit is about?

Now that would be an experience. I've driven my 4Runner on it and drove a convertible with the top down through there. Now I want a Model S w/ AP and a Pano Roof through there.

I enter said Arc of Doom this weekend. Staying at a hotel in Greenville, SC so I can take advantage of 1772 outlet or one of the faster chargers downtown.

When entering the Arc of Doom you must gird yourself with snacks, podcasts, and good walking shoes.
Remember there are no superheroes or super chargers to come to your aid.

That was much longer (and harder) for y'all than I expected. When did I start this thread, again?

I feel shafted by the lack of superchargers in this EV nether region.

This is why we purchased a Volt rather than a Model S. We live in this valley and travel it frequently. From my home to Pittsburgh (400) there are only 4 charging options 3 of them Nissan dealers not particularly close to exits. And none of them over 200v and 30 amps. Painfully slow as I know from experience in three Roadster.

Have you seen the updated supercharger map for 2015 on TeslaMotors.com?

It looks like all those places will be on the map, no?

"I'm hoping to see some action on this pretty soon."

heh

Well, "any single one inserted into the area would help"

Looks like the admins "cleaned up" this thread, and now some of the posts look like punchlines to jokes that had no setup.

A possible solution to the "Arc of Doom" may have been provided by the placement of a Level III charger, not quite a Tesla Supercharger but close, in a parking Garage at 66 Richardson Street, Greenville, SC where parking is free on weekends and inexpensive other times. The charging is free and available 24/7. There are very few EVs in Greenville so its usually available. In about 30 minutes you can get nearly a 50% charge. This will get you from Charlotte to Atlanta easily even with a 70Kw Tesla battery.

I went to Spartanburg this past weekend and it was interesting finding a charging spot. I ended up in a parking deck in downtown Spartanburg using a J1772 206v/30a that had a broken latch, so I had to stand by the car (thankfully I had lawn chairs with me) for 30 minutes holding the charger in place so that I could top off a bit. Trip Planner said I would get back to Charlotte with 8%. I blame myself for not being properly prepared. There was a NEMA 10-30 outlet at the house, but I don't have an adapter for that. I need to pick up either Tesla's adapter or a quality extension cord and NEMA 10-30 -> 14-50 adapter pigtail so that I could easily plug in next time. Either that, or start off with a larger charge (I left at 80% instead of 90%) so I have more buffer room for traffic.

What I saying in a long-winded manner is that there is likely to always be somebody that "misses out". It would have been unlikely that I would drive to Greenville even for a SpC to get back to Charlotte.

Try getting from St Louis to ANY WHERE in the southeast? Maybe 2016 will bring some much needed SC'ers.

A Supercharger in Metropolis, IL or Paducah, KY would help, but two Superchargers in Mt Vernon, IL and Eddyville, KY would be great!

For now, write the manager at Harrah’s Metropolis and tell them that you would make a long or overnight stop there if they install some HPWC Destination Chargers.

Since the Supercharger map makes St. Louis look to be the "Gateway to the West" for some reason, it would be great to have a route that runs from STL to ATL, via Nashville.

Gateway to the West, where have I heard that before????????

Well it looks like Asheville has been permitted, and being right at the I-26 / Parkway interchange area, it's a great location! Also those Outlets are really nice. We used their charger last time we were in the area.

Here's hoping more of the Arc gets filled in - Greenville, Columbia would be nice additions for sure.

 

[Drucifer]

Greenville, South Carolina has a location and is in permitting...blue dot is now on the map. Fingers crossed.
