At the beginning of the New Year, the father of my sister-in-law passed away. My wife and I headed for Tsuyama city by car where the funeral would be held. As you know, I have a Tesla Model 3 named "Ryuseigo", which is driven by electricity.
The charging spots open to the public are becoming prevalent around my hometown, but the Tesla's Supercharger, which is specially and exclusively designed for Tesla cars, doesn't exist. The Tesla's charging network has been also expanding in Japan, but not enough yet. I had been eager to use the supercharger after I got my Ryuseigo.
The amount of charge of Ryuseigo was enough to reach the destination, but I went out of the toll road to try to use the Tesla Supercharger(link) in Kurashiki city on the way, though the highway toll become a little higher once you get out of the highway.
Then I dropped in at a Tesla charging spot in Kurashiki city and charged Ryuseigo from the Supercharger for the first time. Adding to the easy procedure, I was amazed at the speed of the charge! I usually charge it in my house. The speed of the Supercharger was 10 times faster than my usual charge. As the following pictures show, it can charge electricity for the drive of 336km in an hour.

親戚に不幸があり、岡山県の北部の町まで流星号でドライブ。目的地までバッテリーに余裕はあったのだが、テスラスーパーチャージャーを試してみたくて倉敷で高速道路を降りて充電してみた。さすがにテスラ専用の充電器だけあり、速い! 写真が示すように１時間で３３６ｋｍを走行できる電力を充電できるようだ。
