"Sites" not "stations" as that can be misconstrued as individual charging posts.
You can see the freeways of the US in this map.
I'm not saying this is inaccurate persay but this number does include a station on the island of Lanai'i in Hawaii that as far as I can tell is actually a private station. (Nothing theoretically prevents you from charging there but despite my best attempts it doesn't seem to be possible to get a Tesla on the island.)
"Charging station" is the standard term used by most networks and feels natural to folks used to gas stations (where one station can have multiple gas pumps, just as one charging station can have multiple charging stalls).
Tell this to ChargePoint
I thought it might just be a Canadian thing, but it seems to be the standard used by Google Maps along with charging networks (at least in US, Canada, and in Europe). Tesla has used the terms "supercharger stations" and "supercharger connectors" in their [investor reporting](https://web.archive.org/web/20220126210923/https://tesla-cdn.thron.com/static/WIIG2L_TSLA_Q4_2021_Update_O7MYNE.pdf).
Focusing on a broad charging infrastructure was one of the best moves Elon did to help legitimize EVs.
And population density haha
Are you Larry Ellison?
Red dots are all the places where Elon says people should not be able to vote. The guy's mouth is killing car sales to the point of destroying the company. He needs to walk away.
What do you do in North Dakota if one of the ones in the middle go down? Lol
Better have a CCS adapter. Or find a Level 2 charger and add an extra 6 hours to your road trip. lol
Still need one around Garberville, CA. The stretch from Laytonville to Eureka is on the long side for older Teslas and there are no second chances if you miscalculate. Other than that, I feel really comfortable on all of my road trips.
3000 down, now just need the ones in Montana and the Dakotas to stop being 200 miles apart.
It's not private, there are Tesla owners on island (not Ellison) that use it and you can also bring your own vehicle by charter. There's just no real point to chartering a ferry to bring your own car unless you live there
Your question piqued my curiosity, so I looked it and sure enough the chargers through ND are all about 100 miles apart. So while having a CCS and level 2 adapters are good options, In the very unlikely possibility that an entire site was down, one could also just make it to the next charger. The car will know ahead of time if a site is down so it’ll tell you to charge more so you can skip ahead to the next available station. To be sure there are places in the northwest where you can be more than 200+ mi from a supercharger, so they are not done by a long stretch.
And if you are driving east or west in Kansas, Nebraska , South Dakota and North Dakota you definitely are not going anywhere north or south in the center to west side of the states.
From my house to Minot North Dakota is 678 miles in an ice vehicle and takes 11 hours. If I take my Tesla it’s 1100 miles and takes 10 stops and 21 hours.
Not true. It shows 5 along I-15 in Utah that don’t exist.
I have visited all but one of these
Took a National Park roadtrip about 18 months ago across the West. There were lots of places I got a 80%+ charge just to get to the next station. Some legs would have been impossible if a station was down. Fortunately, the reliability is great, and we never had an issue, but we had multiple adapters just in case. Boise to Bend was our first leg. 261 miles between the Payette charger and the one in Bend. There is exactly one charger between, in Hines. Most of our trip was like that, so we did a lot of planning. But we had Zero issues. The only place we skipped because we weren't sure we could make it was Bryce Canyon, but they've since opened one there. With the extremely high reliability, there are now only a few remote areas that are out of reach. Mostly Nevada, NE Montana and the mountains in central Idaho. Maybe Wyoming, but it looks like a couple more are planned there.
Still no southwest witicha
What do the checkmarks mean
As I understand it, check marks mean a building permit is getting voted on by the local authorities. Question marks mean Tesla has a plan for a station there, blue triangle means permits have been acquired, orange triangle means under construction. Someone who knows better can correct this, but it’s quite interesting to watch this buildout happen over time. Supercharge.info is a great resource for more details. I use it in conjunction with PlugShare when I’m looking at taking a longer trip.
And they're still rolling them out faster and cheaper than anyone else
Dodge City, KS from Wichita or Wichita to Dodge. SW Kansas is an EV wasteland.
No super chargers in my town in East Tennessee 37814. ☹️
