What drivers have written

“Stopped by in November 2019. Connector was pretty beat up and the car rejected it at first, but after blowing out debris, it worked. It charged at 10kW Max on my 75kw/h Model 3. There's only one Tesla charger here, but there another EV charger with the J-1772 (Clipper Creek) connector, which is the style that works with the adapter in the mobile charging kit included with Tesla cars. Sign posted at the site says free public charging, 8am-5pm. Power was on outside of ski season. There also a 220v "twistlock" style plug and four 120v NEMA 5-15 style plugs.” — Justin Marty, 6 years ago

“There's only 1 Tesla destination charger and then another charger. That one was broken. You will need your adapter for Tesla NAC port.” — David J, 2 years ago

“Free, no issues with connection. Thursday arrived 8:10 and one was taken. Friday arrived 7:30 and both were available.” — Kelsey Tierney, 3 years ago
