Nice setup but probably only useful for locals. I'm hoping we see some more V4s or better yet, iONNA stations, along travel routes and small towns. There's a V4 in Ballard that's been languishing for a year. It finally got a transformer in January but still needs to get its cables replaced. Tesla hired a security guard to sit there 24/7 to make sure the tweakers don't steal anything more.

You’re speaking Greek to me. Not sure of all that V4 etc?

V3 = old style of Superchargers with short cables.

V4 = the new style of supercharger stalls you’re looking at. They have long cables.

iONNA = charging station company.

Ballard = neighborhood of Seattle.

I got Ballard right!

The best part is that there is (was?) A McMenamins right there as well. I haven't been in a while but it was always pretty quiet...

This guy does a weekly tally of all the new DCFC builds across the country - there’s a lot going on. His videos are fairly short and to the point.

The route from Boise to Reno is getting a little help from superchargers in Jordan Valley, OR. They still have a bit of construction to go and everything is hard to see under the wrap but the stalls might be V4's.

Classic Tesla. Just throwing these into a dirt lot and calling it good.

I love the V4 dispenser hardware, but the thing about Superchargers that is a gripe of mine, is that Tesla often sites these in locations without any amenities. No lighting, bathrooms, or trash cans. Great for the car but sucks for the people.

That’s where will be interesting to see if the Ionna network is able to succeed as planned. They’re super chargers, but more customer centric than Tesla’s approach. Secure facilities/meeting rooms, bathroom, food, gaming, etc. At least looks great on paper - we’ll see how it eventually pans out! Looks like they have a dozen or so “rechargeries” built so far.

Plan is for 30,000 “plugs” in the next 5 years. Pretty aggressive!

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Tesla looks for space, vs. a good location. Back of a closed restaurant, potholed lot, "by the dumpsters", side of a grocery store. And many with zero amenities, including bathrooms.

EA's locations, after the initial ones, were much better (most being Walmart or Target). Initial ones were "back of a Bank America parking lot" (real nice at 10PM), and such. An EA out west is by an always closed coffee shop with the nearest bathroom a good block away. One we went to was in a grocery store parking lot, closed at 9PM, and all the restaurants were "drivethru only" at the time.

So you are saying Spirit Halloween and Tesla should do a partnership? Could help each other find the best of the best!

Haha! Hopefully this situation improves. Otherwise, future year models will have the $500 port-a-potty option!!! ?
