From The Arkansas eTraveler.
700 miles on Tesla Superchargers from McCaysville, Georgia back home to Bentonville, Arkansas in my Chevrolet Blazer EV — and I only allowed myself one charging network the entire way.
On the drive down it took eight stops across four networks to cover 800 miles, and the two most reliable, most convenient chargers I hit were Tesla Superchargers I hadn’t even planned on using. So on the return trip I leaned all the way in: seven Superchargers, no Electrify America, no ChargePoint, no IONNA, no backup plan. I also ran most of it overnight to see whether Tesla’s time-of-use rates would actually save me money.
I score every stop the same way I always do — payment, power, location, amenities, availability — and I ran the whole thing on a NACS adapter in a GM vehicle, GM dip and all.
Is Tesla as good as everyone says, or has the reputation gotten out ahead of the reality? Here’s what 700 miles and seven stops actually showed.
Have you charged this corridor — Memphis, Chattanooga, North Georgia? Drop what you found in the comments. If your experience contradicts mine, I’d rather hear it from you than guess. Your data makes the head-to-head comparison video better, and that one is up next.
