My 16th Lightning Road Trip of More Than 1500 Miles

[On the Road with Ralph]

Wife and I were talking during our last trip how nice it would be if the rest areas had DCFC's. I haven't seen any in FL, but that is nice if they are beginning to emerge.

Here is a quick list of just Tesla charging stations at Florida rest stops:

• Canoe Creek/Turnpike
• Port St. Lucie/Turnpike
• Turkey Lake/Turnpike
• Fort Drum/Turnpike
• Okahumpka/Turnpike
• Ochopee/Alligator Alley

Additionally, FP&L has DCFC chargers (mostly ChargePoint) at:

• West Palm Beach/Turnpike
• Fort Drum/Turnpike
• Pompano Beach/Turnpike
• Port St. Lucie/Turnpike

Duke Energy also has DCFC at Turkey Lake (Turnpike) and Canoe Creek (Turnpike).

And there is a ChargePoint DCFC station at the Snapper Creek Service Plaza on the Turnpike.

In other words, basically EVERY rest area/service plaza on the Florida Turnpike has EV charging.

Hell, I know this, and I live in California (I did grow up in Fort Lauderdale and regularly visit).

And, to be clear, this isn't new. They have been around for years.

Both Tesla and FPL (ChargePoint) DCFC chargers at the Fort Drum Service Plaza on the Florida Turnpike. EV chargers have been at this location since 2020.

You’re talking about the turnpike areas. Yes, I’m aware of those. I was talking about the Rest Areas that are on interstates that are ran by the State. I'd love to see those start getting chargers
