Fellow EV owners, do you know of any DC Fast chargers west of Glenstone? I'm tired of driving all the way to division and 65 to get a fast charge.

That Kum and Go is currently the only fast charger in the city, I'm afraid. There are a few Level 2 chargers around town, at both HyVees, the garage downtown, couple other places, but they'll take you a couple hours to charge while the Kum and Go will do it in like 20 minutes.

There's 3 DC Fast locations actually, but all are east of Glenstone (to be pedantic, the one at Thompson Cadillac is technically west of Glenstone but it's also very far away from most of the town). I'm just looking for something a little closer to home. It feels like the EV infrastructure is basically non-existent in Springfield. I wish I could figure out how to get people to care because EV's are steadily taking over the car market and everyone is gonna wish we had the stuff sooner.

Hmm, Thompson doesn't come up on my app. What's the third one?

You can see it in the EV Connect app. It's near Glenstone and James River.

Ok, I got that app and I can see it now, thanks! You mentioned there was a third location? I'm only seeing two on the EV connect app.

I'm not an EV man and have no idea what that means. Are they not compatible?

Tesla has a proprietary socket on their charging ports for their cars and charging cords. Most car models use what I have on my car and it's not compatible with Tesla chargers. A super charger is a very convenient option for EV owners and Tesla decided to create an exclusive club, that's one of the reasons I don't support Tesla anymore.
