SALINA, Kan- The Salina Post contacted TESLA, they had this to say about their new charging stations.

Tesla is very focused on providing free long distance travel across the country. We place Superchargers along major corridors that our customers often travel and that connect city centers.  Located just off I-70, this station supports a cross country route that allows Tesla Model S owners to drive from Los Angeles to New York, for free.

 

The Tesla Supercharger is substantially more powerful than any charging technology to date, providing up to 120 kilowatts of power and replenishing half a charge in twenty minutes.  (Model S has a range of 265 miles so that’s roughly 150 miles of charge in the first 20 minutes at a Supercharger).

 

We strategically place Superchargers to allow owners to drive from station to station with minimal stops. Superchargers are located near amenities like roadside diners, cafes, and shopping centers so road trippers can stop for a quick meal and have their Model S charged by the time they’re done.
