Since moving to a non-Tesla, the 70+ mile gap between Paso and Soledad on the 101 has been a huge pain the ass. In that stretch, excluding 400v Superchargers which don't work well for most 800v EVs, there is only ONE 350kw charger (whichs seems to actually max out around 170kW per plugshare) and two 205kw chargers (which seem to actually max out around 125kW). And there are absolutely none for 50 miles between Paso and King City.
It seems bizarre that such a well-traveled freeway in California of all places would be so poorly served. This is a key stretch that folks coming from Ventura county to the Bay or vice versa need to charge.
Anyone know whether there are any decent stations planned to open on this stretch?
EDIT: For a visual of how weird this gap is compared to other highway charging in California, see this screenshot (of 150kW+ 800v capable chargers): https://i.imgur.com/805UfWD.png. And note that because of this gap, the Soledad and Paso chargers are often full and, in a reduced power situation, creates an unavoidable delay.
