Wiki Trailer-friendly Supercharger Locations

[ecarfan]

Add the Supercharger on Klassen Road in Hope, British Columbia, as a trailer friendly location. A recent expansion of the site added a new row of stalls and one can now pull up on the back side of that row and plug in without blocking traffic at the gas station next to the Superchargers.

If that's all you need to call it trailer friendly the Oakland - Hegenberger Rd, CA Supercharger would qualify, its got chargers on one side but you can pull up on the other side and charge, often there isn't anyone on that side but they do have spaces painted there too.

If I can charge without unhitching or physically blocking any stalls or parking lot lanes, that is definitely “trailer friendly” to me. I’ve never charged in Oakland but from your photo it appears to be trailer friendly.

If I can charge without unhitching and only block one or two stalls at a location with 6 or more stalls that is little used I also consider that “trailer friendly”.

Brewer Maine has a drive in for charging, and a trailer will not block anything.

It looks like another trailer friendly site opened in Santa Nella with 4 trailer friendly stalls:

Supercharger - Santa Nella, CA (LIVE, 48 V3 stalls)

Let the races begin!! Where was everyone else? Cones are just a suggestion Oh, no, *I* got in, I just don't think it's considered open when you gotta move one of the stanchions and drive under the rope in order to charge:

There are new trailer spots in Primm, NV and the new 250KW chargers behind the outlet mall at Barstow. Some idiot was using the one at Barstow even though he was the only other vehicle there - wish they were more obvious that they were for trailers.

Used the Firebaugh CA Supercharger for the first time today and it has 4 pedestals that can be accessed by parking behind and parallel to them in a large paved area perfect for staying hitched up while charging. Yes, there are markings on the pavement indicating “Do not park here” but I don’t see why.

It is too bad the overall area is so trashy and overgrown with tumbleweeds.

Yes those look ideal to use while staying hitched up with a small trailer, but I suspect the intent of the Supercharging station designer was that in the future they would be used by Cybertruck owners.

At many Supercharger locations, if a Cybertruck is charging it will stick out so far that it will partially block the lane vehicles use to get in and out of the stalls. I think that is going to be a real problem.

Those stalls don't look like they have hardly any room to turn after you have charged if towing a long trailer.

I agree that if one is towing a 22 ft-plus trailer it will be tight. But it looks perfect for my 17 footer.

I do not expect Tesla to design Superchargers to accommodate long trailers staying hitched up while charging. It only takes a few minutes to unhitch. I do it all the time.

Any new additions for this year ?

There has to be some out there right.

Auburn, CA has one trailer friendly charger. It’s the last Supercharge eastbound 80 before Donner Summit.

There is a new one in Columbus Ohio where all 16 stalls are pull through. Near US 23 and I 270 on the North side of town. It seemed like it was near a University campus but I did not look around.

Yuba City has one stall that is accessible with my 18' trailer and MY. It's a little tricky backing out, but not horrible.
Also it appears the new Mariposa Supercharger has multiple pull-in stalls. And so does Bass Lake

Just found this thread. Nice! Here’s a couple I don’t think I saw in the thread.

First off Limon, Colorado. You can pull around the back of the 250 kW stalls and there are two pedestals that the cable can reach the car.

Canmore, Alberta. This would be the 1702 Bow Valley Trail location. You can pull up to the end of the row of stalls. There is a building to the left, out of the picture, but there’s plenty of room for others to get around.

Hey gt, not to go wandering too far ot I’ll just post a couple of screen shots. Let's take it to the Towing travel trailer with Model Y thread if you'd like to discuss it further.

Apologies that last one, Banff to home, is a little fuzzy posted that small. It was 1805 miles at an average 498 Wh/mi.

Seems to only offer the same amount of sleeping space the Model Y already has

Oh, sorry, did you mean this thread:

Towing travel trailer with Model Y

Hi folks, I was wondering what kind of travel trailers people are towing with their Model Y. I am really interested in the Airstream's Basecamp (link), and the weight is only 2650 lbs, which is under the Model Y's towing capacity of 3500 lbs. But I noticed that the hitch weight of the Basecamp...

Hey Randy,

Yup, that's the thread. Thanks for the assist there.

Yeah, the trailer sleeping area is about the same size as if you set up the car for sleeping. The trailer also has a small fridge and kitchen on the back. We appreciate the extra overall room this setup gives us while staying small and affecting our range as little as possible. We seem to always have plenty to put in the car. Camping chairs, beverage cooler, dog kennel, food box, sometimes our E-Z Up canopy. With the trailer we don't have to figure out where to shift or put these things while trying to convert things to a bed. We also appreciate the shades and screens on the camper windows. We're really enjoying the trailer and the things it's allowing us to do.
