Charging Help - Anyone in North Conway?

[Nate977p]

Hello,

I am doing a worktrip in North Conway and we carpooled in the Lighting. Amazing vehicle for the trip! But I'm a bit stuck charging and wondering if anyone up here has a place I can plug in with either J1772 or a 14-50 (I have a 40 foot extension + mobile charger).

I am not stranded, but hoping someone can help us out so I don't have to leave the truck unattended in a random shopping plaza for 12 + hours .

Now living the Tesla life for over 4 years, charging has never been a thought. I spec'd out the trip knowing it's harder with the Lightning. I knew I would be low up here, but planned to trickle on 110v and use a L2 local if needed.

The problem... The 110v here keeps tripping and I cannot set amps like I can in the Tesla (crazy you cannot). I cannot get to another outlet at the AirBnB either.

I then looked on PlugShare and found a 220v down the road! I got there to plug in with my Tesla adapter, and stupidly spaced that the Tesla adapter is for my UMC to J1772, not other way around. I found a J1772 that is public, but it seems to be about 5kw and in a shopping plaza....we have another car but not looking to leave the truck unattended all day.

End of day, totally my fault, but I really am just amazed by the lack of infrastructure, especially compared to Tesla I even charged for almost an hour at Mall of NH EA to get a measly 19%.... (69 to 88%).

Thank you in advance if anyone can help!

I'm staying up in North Conway Saturday. I was planning on trying to plug in at the Mt Washington Observatory office. It's a little less than 1/2 mile from where I'm staying so I'm just going to leave it and walk back. I'm just not sure whether it's actually available, there are a few recent check ins on Plugshare so I'm going to give it a shot. It looks like there are a few more options but farther from my hotel but it would be a bit of a pain to get back there if I left it.

Let me know what you end up finding. I'm curious about the status of the local turtle charge network.

ETA: As you've now realized, Northern NH charge infrastructure is absurdly bad. It's definitely a downside of an EV in this area. I go hiking and skiing up there quite a lot and it's a bear to plan it out especially when going somewhere in the 302 corridor between Lincoln and North Conway. I never bothered to drive my Bolt up there because I had an AWD ICE vehicle. Now I just have the Lightning so I have to deal with it.
