As some of you probably already know, Tesla's Supercharger voting has begun for 1Q2024. I've got one location that I'm definitely going to be voting for (I'll circle back to that), but for my other 4 votes I'll mainly be map-gazing to see what looks like the worst gaps that need covered. But the next logical step seems to me like we should open up some discussion here:
What voting choices around the region you live in could really use votes? What's your reason for voting for those sites over other choices? Long unserved distances are going to be one of the main reasons of course, but discussion here could help to bring to light some less-obvious reasons... the main example that comes to my mind would be something like "Sure, putting a new SC station in town XYZ only splits a ~70-mile gap, but it's right in the middle of a 3,000-foot elevation change!"
Having said all that, I'll go first: my first vote this quarter is for Gas City, IN. Pretty basic reasoning; one of the largest US interstate highway gaps remaining (#19 as I type this), plus it's right between Indiana's two largest [non-Chicagoland] cities. An added bonus is the irony factor of putting EV charging in Gas City, ha.
For the time being, I'll sit on my other 4 votes to see what I learn here.
Bonus note: if you didn't already know, you can also suggest new sites for voting on in later quarters; Gas City is one that I [and probably many other people] suggested the last couple quarters.
