This major city, east coast HN driver had zero supercharger lines going to and from the Midwest. Maybe the author should have put “In California” in the title?

Similar story here: drove up I5 from Portland to Seattle to Leavenworth and back to Portland. Traveling Fri through Sun. No lines.

I was very pleasantly surprised to run into a Supercharger station in Leavenworth while walking about.

Maybe, since half of all PEV sales go to california:

Don't know tesla-specific numbers.

California appears to be the sample of what full electrification implies.

Given Tesla charges for use of Super Chargers now and the cost of electricity dominates build out cost, they should be able to build out enough infrastructure in a cost neutral way to stay ahead of the curve.

Huh. Strange then that they aren't accelerating the construction of chargers.

[ec109685]

They only have so much capital and probably spending on new factorise instead.

[derision]

Not at all. California is extremely overpopulated and condensed. Most of the country other than a few similar major cities will not have the same issues
