I feel the same way.
My "old man cyclist" group has breakfast every Monday in the Winter but I 've missed a few because a couple aren't vaxxed. I'm the last to chime in on whether I'm going or not; I want to see the attendance list first. :lol: |

There are 3 different fast charge (DC) plugs: CCS, CHAdeMo, and Tesla supercharger. There are 2 different Level 2 plugs: J1772 (every US car but Tesla) and Tesla. There is an adapter that allows you to use a Tesla Level 2 charger with the J1772 plug. |

I've wondered that myself. It could be that having high voltage electrical systems in close proximity to large underground tanks of highly combustible fuel may not be a good idea, but that's pure speculation.

LSS works out in the pool at Walter Reed three times a week and frequently shops at the exchange and Whole Foods on the way home. If we get it I'm blaming her.

If only Teslas can charge there it seems 3 or 4 units should be more than enough. How long does a full recharge take anyway?
For level 2, which is 220 volt and requires a wall unit, about half the time, or 7-8 hours. For a DC fast charger, it's supposed to charge to 80% in 25 minutes, or so. Of course, you can always do a partial charge if you need to go. |

It takes my car about 8 hours on a Level 2 charger to recharge from 20% to 80%. Tesla Level 2 chargers are roughly the same, but to some extent it depends on the size of your battery bank. On a good DC/Level 3 charger, it takes about 15 - 30 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%. That includes the Tesla superchargers. Out of the place near you that has a dozen Tesla chargers, 1 or 2 of those may be superchargers. The rests, if not all of them, will be Level 2 chargers. Now, you might ask, what about if you want to charge to 100%? Most brands recommend against regularly charging to 100% since that can shorten battery lifetime. I've done it once, and frankly for my use it didn't make that much difference. Typically, I only charge every 2 to 3 weeks since I don't put a lot of miles on it. Also, if using a Level 3/supercharger, once you hit the 80% mark, the charging rate really slows down to prevent damage to the batteries. Thus, once you hit that 80% mark in 15 minutes, the charger slows so much that getting to 100% could take several more hours. Charge times also depend on battery size, battery temperature, and a host of other things. My home charger can use either 110 volt or 220 volt supply. A charge from 20% to 80% using the 110 volt (Level 1) source takes about 40 hours for my car. Plugged into the 40 amp, 220 volt line I had installed (Level 2) gives me that charge overnight (I've never timed it - I just plug it in when I get home for the day and unplug the next morning). |
I'm trying to lay out some kitchen cabinets in SketchUp and my daughter, love her to death, will just not STFU. I mean, she's not even talking to me, she's talking to my wife in the next room over, but it still makes the job harder.
Not to be outdone, when asking my wife about a minor consideration, she says, "wait - we're not doing inset doors?" Oy. I guess that my idea of a kitchen refresh is different than hers. More work ahead of me, I guess. |

Supercharger | Tesla I first saw one of those stations you are talking about in a shopping center that has a large grocery store in Brattleboro, VT. That was probably 2015. Guess it would be handy to use while shopping. I have also seen the one at the Stewart's in Clinton Corners on the Salt Point Turnpike. Is that up your way? |
The Natural Grocers has their charging stations fairly close to the front door. It's not unusual to have a first gen Prius parked in one of those spots, because, sort of electric....
